Wash and place chickens in a large stock pot (I use whole chickens because it it easier to remove from the soup-I use a large "spider" to take them out). Add the rest of the ingredients, cover with water, place a cover on top and slowly bring up to a simmer. Simmer for about 2 hours. Cool the chicken and vegetables in the stock before removing.
