1. 1

   Combine chickens and water in a 5-quart stockpot. Cover, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and skim off the scum that accumulates on the surface. Remove chicken breast quarters and set aside. Add 2 cups carrots, 1 cup onions, 2 cups celery, green leek tops, peppercorns, bay leaves, thyme and salt.

2. 2

   Cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Remove cover, replace the chicken breasts and continue to cook for another 25 minutes. Meanwhile, slice the white parts of leeks into 1/4-inch rounds and wash well to remove any sand. You should have about 1 cup. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the leeks and the remaining carrots, onions and celery.
