HEARTY, HEALTHY CHICKEN SOUP


Ingredients

  • 3 lb bone-in chicken thighs
  • 3 large carrots, medium diced
  • 3 stalks celery, leaves on, diced
  • 3-4 parsnips, medium diced
  • 3 yellow onions, medium chopped
  • Large handful of fresh dill
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash & skin chicken thighs; trim excess fat
  • Place chicken thighs in a deep stock pot and cover with water.  Add a pinch or two of salt, if desired.  Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer for a minimum of 2 hours.
  • Add carrots, celery, onions and parsnips to the stock.
  • Rinse dill and give it a slap to release the flavorful oils from its leaves; add to the pot.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer for at least another hour.  Repeat if possible – heating/cooling cycles allows the flavors to marry.
  • Add salt & pepper to taste.
