Main Ingredients

2.2 lb (1 kg) Chicken (whole or parts)

2 cups Carrots

2 cups Celery stalks

1 medium Onion

3 cloves Garlic cloves

2 medium Potatoes

6 cups Chicken broth

Herbs and Seasonings

2 leaves Bay leaves

1 tsp Thyme

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

to taste black pepper

2 tbs Parsley (fresh or dried)

Method

Preparation

Prepare the Chicken

If using a whole chicken, rinse it under cold water and remove any giblets. If using chicken parts, make sure they are cleaned and ready to use.

Chop the Vegetables

Peel and dice the carrots, celery, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Cooking

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent.

Add the Chicken and Broth

Add the prepared chicken to the pot along with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil.

Add Vegetables and Seasonings

Once boiling, add the chopped carrots, celery, and potatoes. Stir in the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Reduce heat to low and let simmer.

Simmer the Soup

Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Finish with Parsley

Remove the chicken from the pot. Once cool, shred the meat and return it to the soup. Stir in the parsley and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
