  1. Classic Chicken Soup Recipe (En-US)

    Ingredients: 1 whole chicken (about 3–4 lb) or 3–4 lb bone-in pieces; 1 large onion, chopped; 2 carrots, sliced; 2 celery stalks, chopped; 3–4 cloves garlic, minced; 8 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth; 2 bay leaves; 1–2 tsp salt (to taste); 1/2 tsp black pepper; 1–2 tsp dried thyme or 1 tbsp fresh; optional: 1–2 cups egg noodles or cooked rice; optional garnish: chopped parsley. Steps: (1) If using a whole chicken, place it in a large pot with water/broth, onion, carrots, celery, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer gently 60–90 minutes (or until chicken is cooked through). (2) Remove chicken, cool slightly, then shred meat and discard bones/skin. (3) Strain broth if you want a clearer soup; otherwise keep it chunky. (4) Return shredded chicken to the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning. (5) If using noodles, simmer 8–12 minutes until tender; if using rice, add cooked rice at the end and heat through. (6) Serve hot with parsley.

  2. Tips for Best Flavor & Texture

    For richer flavor, roast the chicken pieces (or use rotisserie chicken) before simmering. Keep the heat at a gentle simmer to avoid cloudy broth. Add noodles/rice only near the end so they don’t absorb all the liquid. If you like a thicker soup, simmer extra vegetables longer or add a small amount of cornstarch slurry (optional).
