What is it about chicken soup that seems to help us when we are feeling not so well? It simply soothes and comforts. This soup is made with homemade vegetable stock and combined with a simple frying of the diced thigh fillets finished with a sprinkle of parsley. Of course, if you are short on time substitute homemade stock with a good quality packaged one.
Ingredients
- 8 cups vegetable stock (homemade or packaged)
- 4 chicken thigh fillets – diced
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1/4 cup parsley – washed, sliced finely
Directions
- Prepare stock and other ingredients. If making the homemade stock double the water rather than doubling all ingredients.
- In a large pot on medium heat add oil.
- Add chicken pieces cooking for 10 minutes stirring frequently.
- Add stock bringing to the boil on high heat, reduce and simmer on low heat covered for 15 minutes.
- Skim fat off surface of soup with a spoon or spatula.
- In serving bowls divide part chicken pieces with the broth and sprinkle parsley to finish. Serve.
