Place cut up chicken, innards, celery, onion, bay leaves, garlic in a large stock pot. Add water to cover ingredients by 3 inches or so. Salt (3-4 tablespoons kosher salt) and pepper to taste. Place lid and bring to a boil. Lower to a gentle simmer, leaving lid ajar, for 5 hours. Skim top for scum and grease periodically. Allow to cool then strain through large colander lined with cheese cloth into a large bowl. Refrigerate, remove congealed fat.
Straciatella - Use about two quarts of soup. Bring to a gentle boil. Drop in spinach and cook for 5 minutes. In a small bowl beat eggs and cheese. Using a fork stir simmering soup continually while slowly pouring egg cheese mixture into pot. Let straciatella simmer about one minute then turn off heat. Break any large egg curds with fork. Serve immediately with extra grated cheese. Serves 6-8.
