Here's the recipe for one of my favorite foods. I don't like the Charlotte verison of Brunswick Stew and locals there have been known to pour a whole bottle of catsup in their stew. 
Anyway, enjoy!
2 (2 1/2 to 3 pound) chicken, cut into serving pieces
2 quarts hot water
2 t salt
1 to 2 of dried red pepper
several black peppercorns
1/2 pund cured, cooked ham (optional)
1 large onion,chopped
4 c diced peeled tomatoes or canned tomatoes
3 med white potatoes
4 c of fresh or frozen lima beans
2 c of fresh corn or frozen or cannned whole kernal corn
1 1/2 c of slived fresh or frozen orka
put chicken into water in a large pot; add salt, pepper, red pepper, quarted onion, and some celery leaves. Simmer for 2 hours till chicken is falling from the bones. Rmove chicken from pot, discard skin and bones and dice. Strain the broth. Return the chicken and broth to the pot; add ham (if using) and simmer untill he meat separtes into tiny pieces. chill in the fridge till the next day, then skim off the fat. Return to pot and alld all the vegetable but the okra. Simmer until tender; then add orka and cook 10 minutes longer. It freezes well.
