Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Place the whole chicken in a large pot and cover it with water. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a simmer and skim off any foam that rises to the top.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the chicken is simmering, chop the carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces, and dice the onion. Mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add the Vegetables

    After the chicken has simmered for about 30 minutes, add the chopped carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic to the pot.

  2. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  3. 5

    Continue Simmering

    Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

  4. 6

    Remove the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the pot and let it cool. When cool enough to handle, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, removing the skin and bones.

  5. 7

    Finish the Soup

    Return the shredded chicken to the pot, add the fresh parsley, and stir to combine. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
