Simmering chicken thighs in chicken broth accomplishes two things: It enriches the flavor of the broth and it provides juicy chicken meat to add to the soup.
Ingredients
Olive oil
2 tsp
Uncooked leeks
2 medium, trimmed to white and light-green parts, cleaned, and thinly sliced
Carrots
1 medium, thinly sliced
Onion
1 medium, finely chopped
Uncooked skinless boneless chicken thigh
½ pound(s)
Reduced sodium chicken broth
3 cup(s)
Fresh parsley
1 Tbsp, chopped
Table salt
½ tsp
Black pepper
¼ tsp, freshly ground
Instructions
1
Heat the oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks, carrot, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Remove the chicken from the bones and chop; return the chicken to the soup. Add the parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the chicken is heated through, 2–3 minutes.
