A comforting chicken soup infused with roasted garlic and savory vegetables, perfect for chilly evenings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 whole chicken (about 4 lbs), cut into pieces
  • 2 whole heads of garlic
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 celery stalks, sliced
  • 8 cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the top off each garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil, wrap each head in foil, and roast for 40 minutes until soft and aromatic.
  3. In a large pot, place the chicken pieces and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the chicken simmer for about 20 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken and set it aside to cool.
  4. Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones.
  5. Sauté the onion, carrots, and celery over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth, then add the salt, black pepper, bay leaves, and thyme.
  7. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of its skins into the pot, ensuring each clove releases its sweet flavor into the broth.
  8. Toss the shredded chicken back into the pot, stirring to combine.
  9. Let the soup simmer for an additional 15 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld.
  10. Remove the bay leaves, and just before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Notes

Serve this nourishing soup with crusty bread or a fresh garden salad for a complete meal. Keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
