Task: Question Answering
Input (English): Passage: I was getting pretty hungry , but there was n't much in the house , except some frozen chicken , and a few carrots and potatoes , and some spices . Since I did n't have any money on me , I decided I would make some chicken soup . I took out a pot , poured some water in , and added the chicken . I continued to boil the chicken while preparing the carrots and potatoes . I took out a vegetable peeler and started to peel the carrots , and when I was satisfied , I pulled out a knife and cutting board and proceeded to slice the carrots on the cutting board . I went back to the boiling chicken and stirred it around a bit , and then went to the potatoes I had put on the counter . I washed off some of the dirt from the potatoes but did n't work that hard at it because I was going to peel them anyway . I then proceeded to dig out the potato 's `` eyes '' which are essentially little buds or sprouts that will form new potatoes . I then peeled the potatoes and rinsed them off and finally I sliced them up . At this time the chicken was about done , so I pulled out the chicken pieces and proceeded to peel the meat from the bones and then discarded the bones . I then put the chicken pieces back in and the rest of the spices and stirred it around . Finally I poured a bowl of soup for myself , making sure I got pieces of chicken , carrots and potatoes . It was still very hot and I had to sit and blow on it for a while until it became cool enough to eat . By this time , my Dad had come home and he was hungry too , so instead of lunch we ate an early dinner of this delicious soup . Finally finished with the soup which was very good , I put the empty dishes into the dishwasher to be cleaned later . Question: They boiled the vegetables until they were what texture?
