Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, place the chicken pieces, onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Pour in the chicken broth and add the bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 45 minutes to an hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  3. Remove the chicken pieces from the pot and set them aside. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the vegetables to a separate bowl.
  4. Shred the chicken meat off the bones and return it to the pot with the broth.
  5. Add the cooked vegetables back to the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve the Marry Me Chicken Soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives if desired.

Notes

For best results, simmer the chicken and vegetables separately to ensure optimal texture and flavor. The addition of dried thyme and rosemary adds a sophisticated layer of aroma and taste to the broth. Adjust the seasoning to your personal preference. Enjoy this comforting and delicious soup!
