Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, place the whole chicken and cover it with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the chicken is simmering, chop the carrots, celery, and onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Add Vegetables

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

  2. 4

    Season the Broth

    Add water (if necessary), salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.

  3. 5

    Simmer the Soup

    Continue to simmer the soup for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Remove the Chicken

    Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool. Once cool, shred the meat off the bones.

  2. 7

    Strain the Broth

    Strain the broth to remove the vegetables and bay leaves, then return the broth to the pot.

  3. 8

    Combine Everything

    Add the shredded chicken back to the pot. If desired, stir in chopped parsley and lemon juice for flavor.

  4. 9

    Serve
