2 poundschicken pieces (whole bird, or leg quarters or a combination)

black peppercorns

1. Place chicken in large saucepan and cover with water. Add peppercorns and onion. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to barely a simmer and cook for up to 3 hours unti stock is reduced and brown. Drain reserving meat. Take meat off the bones and discard bones and skin. You should have about 4-5 cups chicken stock.

2. Return stock to sauce pan. Add chicken and carrots. Cook 10 minutes. Combine Bisquick and milk and cheese. Stir gently. Drop spoonfuls of bisquick onto simmer stock. Cook 10 minutes uncovered. Cover, cook 10 more minutes. Serve.
