Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, add the whole chicken pieces and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Skim off any foam that rises to the top.

  2. 2

    Add the Vegetables

    Once the chicken has simmered for about 30 minutes, add the diced carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and potatoes to the pot.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Season the Soup

    Add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to mix all ingredients.

  2. 4

    Simmer

    Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

Finishing Touches

  1. 5

    Remove Chicken and Shred

    Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot. Allow it to cool slightly, then shred the meat and discard the bones.

  2. 6

    Final Adjustments

    Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Add lemon juice and stir well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Soup

    Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and diced avocado before serving.
