1 Clean chicken, remove and discard some, but not all, fat. Place in a large saucepan with carrots, celery, tomatoes, and onion.
2 Tie dill sprigs into a bunch with kitchen twine. Add to the saucepan, and season with salt and pepper. Add water until chicken is covered by 2 inches.
3 Cook over medium-low heat until chicken is cooked through, about 3 hours. Remove chicken to a plate and allow to cool, 15 to 20 minutes.
4 Remove meat from bones, cut into bite-size pieces, and return to the saucepan. Discard bones. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through, about 30 minutes longer. Remove dill before serving.
