Chicken Broth

Chop a chicken into pieces and put them into an earthenware pot with two tablespoonfuls
of pearl barley, one tea spoonful of coriander seed, pour in two quarts of
water and boil for three hours, skimming frequently ; then add a handful or so of
lettuce leaves, cover over the pot, remove it from the fire, let it stand for twenty
minutes, strain through a cloth or fine sieve, and serve.
