Nourishing Chicken Soup
This ain’t your average chicken soup, folks! This one packs a punch with flavors that’ll hug you from the inside. So, let’s dive into what you need to whip up this bowl of goodness.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (cut into pieces or use your favorite parts)
- 8 cups of water or homemade chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 carrots, diced
- 3 celery stalks, diced
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
- Start off by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Toss in the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté those veggies for about 5-7 minutes until they get nice and soft.
- Next, add in the garlic and let that fragrant goodness mingle with the veggies for another minute or so.
- Now, it’s time to shine! Add in your chicken, dried thyme, and rosemary. Pour in the water or chicken broth so everything is submerged. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and falling off the bone, take it out and shred that meat! Discard the skin and bones, and toss the shredded chicken back into the pot.
- Season your soup with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in that fresh parsley. Let it simmer for a few more minutes to allow all the flavors to blend together.
- Serve hot and enjoy! Feel free to add some of your favorite toppings like a squeeze of lemon or a sprinkle of hot sauce for an extra kick!
And there you have it, a nourishing chicken soup that’s not only easy to make but also full of flavor! Gather your loved ones around the table and enjoy this soul-soothing dish – because food tastes better when shared!
