2. Cooking Directions
- Bring water and broth to a simmer in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan. Add chicken and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cover, then let stand until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and cool 10 minutes. Reserve poaching liquid, uncovered.
- While chicken is poaching, cook onion in oil in a 4-quart heavy pot, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add carrots, celery, salt, and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add poaching liquid and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- While vegetables are cooking, shred chicken into 1/4-inch-wide strips (about 1 inch long). When vegetables are done simmering, stir chicken into soup along with parsley.

Good/ Simple/ Quick
andthiseffectsmehow - October 20, 2009 05:01:21 PM PSTI think this is a very basic recipe on chicken soup. One suggestion I can offer for a more "home-cooked" appeal is to boil a chicken after being cleaned of all its meat. This will serve as one of the best ways to begin your broth. Then simply strain and use the broth you made for the broth base of the soup, I also added egg noodles to mine.

Not bad for a quick dinner
Maria R - November 2, 2009 10:16:35 AM PSTMy husband and have hectic work lives, we often don\\'t get home until 7 pm. I made this and I have to say it\\'s not bad. I suggest adding noodles to make it a bit more filling. I usually buy the bulk spiral noodles (usually the colorful ones) so I tossed in a handful. Not only did it make it more filing but the noodles added color, making the soup more appealing.

Is there anything worse?
tomj528 - October 19, 2009 10:26:57 PM PSTDon\\'t you just love it when you have a recipe titled "Hearty Chicken Vegetable Soup" and they use canned chicken broth. I mean how hard is it to simmer a chicken? You should just skip this recipe and open a can of soup!
