Chicken and Vegetable Soup

Ingredients

• 400g chicken (cooked or raw)
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, celery, potato)
• 1 onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tsp thyme
• Salt and pepper

Steps

1. If using raw chicken, cut into pieces and brown in pot 5 minutes.
2. Add onion and garlic. Cook 3 minutes.
3. Add broth, vegetables, and thyme.
4. Bring to boil, reduce heat, simmer 20 minutes.
5. Season well. Add cooked chicken if using leftover.
6. Serve with bread.

Why this works

Chicken stock carries the flavor. Any vegetable combination works because the broth makes it all cohesive.
