In the meantime, cook the chicken separately in water to cover with 1 tsp salt, until tender.
Strain the broth and cool it. and take off the fat. Cut all the meat from the bones and cut into small pieces.
Add 1 quart of the chicken broth to 1 quart of the meat stock.
Add the diced turnips, carrots, green beans, peas and celery. cook all together until the vegetables are tender. add seasoning to taste- more salt, marjoram and thyme if you wish. Put the pieces of chicken into the soup. Marmite is usually served with a bowl of grated cheese and French bread, plain or toasted.
