Provided by Martha Stewart

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 whole chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on
6 cups chicken broth
1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 carrot, cut into 1/2-inch dice

Stir in flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in reserved chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Add turnip, rutabaga or parsnip, and 2 1/2 teaspoons salt.
