Ingredients

1 (4 pound) whole chicken, cut into pieces
2 ½ pounds cubed beef stew meat
1 ½ pounds pork shoulder roast
7 cups water
3 cups chicken broth
3 cloves garlic, whole
2 bay leaves
water to cover
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups diced onion
2 cups diced carrots
2 stalks celery, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
6 potatoes, unpeeled and diced
1 ½ cups fresh green beans, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, drained
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ cup frozen green peas
1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon zest
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper

Steps:

Combine the chicken, beef, pork, water and broth in a large pot and bring to a boil. Add whole cloves of garlic and bay leaves, then reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 2 hours.
Remove chicken, beef and pork. Strip meats from bones and cut into bite size pieces. Strain stock in pot and add water to yield 8 cups of stock. Return meats to broth.
Heat oil in a medium skillet and saute the onion, carrot, celery and minced garlic for about 5 minutes. Add saute mixture to pot along with the potatoes, beans, tomatoes, salt, rosemary, pepper and thyme. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. Stir in the peas, lemon zest and red pepper. Heat through and serve garnished with parsley.
