Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by washing and peeling your vegetables. Chop the carrots, celery, and onion into small, uniform pieces.

  3. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until lightly browned.
  4. Stir in the diced carrots and celery, cooking for about 3-5 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Pour in 6 cups of broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add in herbs, salt, and pepper, then bring to a boil.
  6. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, partially covered.
  7. After simmering, taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Remove any herbs before serving hot.
