Instructions
Create a Flavorful Base: In a large pot, combine chicken thighs, onion, carrots, celery, parsley, water, 2 Tbsp Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Strain and Shred: Remove chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Strain the broth, discarding the solids.
Reassemble the Soup: Return the shredded chicken to the pot with the strained broth. Add in diced carrots, thyme, your preferred pasta and cook according to package directions.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. (Salt and pepper)
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider roasting the chicken thighs before adding them to the pot.
You can add additional vegetables to the soup, such as peas or corn, for extra color and nutrition.
For a creamier soup, stir in a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt before serving - i love doing this!
