Instructions

Prepare the Vegetables:

  • Chop the ingredients: Dice the onion, slice the carrots and celery, and mince the garlic for an aromatic base.

Cook the Soup:

  • Heat the oil: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  • Sauté the aromatics: Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the vegetables: Stir in the carrots and celery and cook for 5 minutes to release their flavors.
  • Pour in the stock: Add the chicken stock, bay leaf, and thyme. Bring the soup to a gentle boil.
  • Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Add the Chicken:

  • Incorporate the chicken: Stir in the shredded or diced chicken and let it heat through for 3-5 minutes.
  • Taste and season: Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

Optional Steps:

  • Add noodles or grains: If using noodles, rice, or quinoa, add them during the simmering stage and cook until tender.
  • Finish with lemon juice: Stir in lemon juice for a bright, fresh flavor.

Serve and Garnish:

  • Serve with crusty bread or your favorite side dish.
