Chicken Soup With Thighs

This chicken soup with thighs recipe makes a hearty, comfort food meal that’s really easy to prepare.

You can make the soup all year around when you’re craving a nourishing home cooked meals, especially during the winter season when you’re looking for the perfect warming meal for chilly days or to fight colds. (Source.)

The homemade soup is also super budget friendly, with chicken thighs being a cheaper cut of chicken than chicken breasts or a whole chicken.

How To Make The Simple Homemade Soup

Start by gathering your simple ingredients:

• 1kg/2.2lbs Chicken Thighs
• 1 Medium Onion, peeled and chopped
• 3-4 Garlic Cloves, peeled and chopped
• 2-3 Large Carrots, chopped
• 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
• Sea Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
• Coconut Oil, Olive Oil or Butter, for cooking

Open up the packages of chicken thighs and season them well with salt, pepper and any other seasoning you’d like, to taste. You can use more chicken if you’d like, depending on the size of the pot you’re using.

Heat your pot on the stove top over medium to high heat, then add in coconut oil, olive oil or butter to heat.

Once the pot is hot, add in the chopped onion and garlic to start soften. You can add in more oil or butter if needed.

When your onion and garlic has softened, add in the chicken thighs and cook, tossing frequently, until it’s browned on all sides.

Add in the chopped carrots, give everything a good toss through then pour over water to cover.

I find that the vegetables and chicken provide plenty of flavor, so there’s no need for stock, but you can feel free to swap some of the water for chicken stock instead.

Add in further seasoning to taste, along with the apple cider vinegar, which is included because it helps balance the flavors of the soup as well as help draw essential nutrients from the chicken bones.

Bring the pot of soup up the boil, then reduce it down to a simmer and gently bubble for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until the meat is cooked through, tender and falls from the bones easily. You can cook it for longer if you’d like, I regularly cook the soup for 2 hours or more for even deeper flavor.

You can enjoy the soup straight away, served as is or with noodles for a chicken noodle soup meal. Alternatively, allow the soup to cool then store in the fridge overnight and serve the following day for an even richer flavored soup.

It’s up to you whether you leave the chicken meat on the bones and serve with the skin on, or remove the thighs from the soup, de-bone and remove the skin, before return only the chicken meat to the soup to serve.

You can even turn the versatile soup into a cream of chicken soup by stirring heavy cream, sour cream or cream cheese through the cooked soup.
