This timeless recipe is soothing, nourishing, and gentle on the stomach—perfect for when you need a comforting and healing meal.
Ingredients
For the Soup:
1 onion (whole, peeled)
1 carrot (peeled, cut into large chunks)
2 stalks of celery (cut into large chunks)
3 chicken legs (skin on, bone-in for maximum flavor)
Water (enough to fill the pot)
1 additional onion, diced (optional, for added depth)
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients
Peel and trim the onion, carrot, and celery. No need to dice them finely, as they’ll be simmered for flavor.
Cook the Chicken
Place the chicken legs into a large pot. Add the whole onion, carrot chunks, and celery.
Add Water
Fill the pot with water until the ingredients are fully submerged, leaving about 2 inches of space from the rim.
Simmer the Soup
Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the top during the first 10-15 minutes of simmering.
Let It Cook
