Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cups chicken bone broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup cooked brown rice, farro, or noodles (optional)
  • to taste fresh parsley or dill, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or stockpot For simmering soup
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • wooden spoon or spatula
  • forks (for shredding)

Method
 

  1. Dice carrots, chop celery and onion, and mince garlic.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté carrots, celery, and onion for 5–6 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in garlic, salt, thyme, pepper, and optional cayenne. Cook 1 more minute.
  4. Pour in bone broth and water. Add raw chicken to the pot.
  5. Bring to boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover partially and cook 30–40 minutes until chicken is tender.
  6. Remove chicken and shred with two forks. Return to pot.
  7. Stir in pre-cooked rice, farro, or noodles if using.
  8. Taste and adjust salt or pepper if needed.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or dill.

Notes

Use chicken thighs for richer flavor or chicken breasts for a leaner soup. Brown rice, gluten-free pasta, or farro can be added for a heartier bowl. Stir in fresh greens like spinach or kale at the end for more nutrients. Use pre-cooked chicken for a faster version.
