Chicken Soup Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Chicken

   In a large pot, add the chicken and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 30-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside to cool.

2. 2

   Sauté the Vegetables

   In the same pot, add diced carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until they begin to soften. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

   Add Broth and Seasonings

   Pour in the chicken broth, add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4

   Add Chicken and Simmer

   While the broth is heating, shred the cooled chicken, discarding the skin and bones. Add the shredded chicken back into the pot. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 20-30 minutes.
