Step-by-Step Instructions
To start this comforting classic, I often find it helpful to gather all my ingredients first. First, take your pieces of chicken and add them to a large pot over medium heat. Pour in the chicken broth and add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, celery, garlic, and thyme. Let this simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. The aroma during this stage? Absolutely heavenly! The combination of veggies and broth fills my kitchen with a delightful warmth that makes me feel all nostalgic.
