Ingredients

1 chicken, 3 1/2 pounds cleaned weight
Salt to taste, if desired
3 cups fresh or canned chicken broth
4 cups water
6 peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 pound yellow turnips (rutabagas)
8 small white onions (not pearl onions), about 1/2 pound, peeled
12 small baby carrots, about 1/2 pound, trimmed and scraped
3/4 pound brussels sprouts, trimmed and split lengthwise
1 pound kielbasa (Polish sausage), cut crosswise into 4 pieces of equal size
8 scallions, ends trimmed

Steps:

Ideally, the chicken should be trussed, but it is not essential. Put the chicken in a kettle and add salt, broth, water, peppercorns, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil and cover closely. Let simmer 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel the turnips and cut them into rectangles measuring about 1 1/2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Add them to the kettle. Add the onions, carrots and brussels sprouts. Cook 10 minutes.
Add the sausage and scallions and cover. Let cook 5 minutes. Carve the meats and serve with vegetables and a little stock.
