The Secret Ingredients
The key to creating the best chicken soup lies in the careful selection of ingredients. Here’s what makes our recipe truly exceptional:
1. Bone-In, Skin-On Chicken
The bones and skin of the chicken release a rich, flavorful broth that forms the foundation of our soup.

A medley of carrots, celery, onions, and garlic adds a vibrant sweetness and depth of flavor.
3. Herbs and Spices
A touch of thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and black peppercorns infuses the soup with an aromatic complexity.
The Perfect Cooking Technique
1. Simmer, Don’t Boil
Gently simmering the soup for several hours allows the flavors to meld and develop. Avoid boiling, as it can toughen the chicken.
2. Skim the Fat
As the soup cooks, skim off any excess fat that rises to the surface. This will result in a cleaner, more flavorful broth.
3. Season to Taste
Once the soup has simmered, season it with salt and pepper to your preference. Be sure to taste and adjust as needed.
