Chicken Broth Recipe Ingredients:

2-3 lb of chicken thigh boneless/skinless (frozen)
2 quarts of water
2 large carrots
1 tablespoon olive oil (affiliate)
3 celery sticks
1 onion chopped
2 garlic cloves minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoon dried parsley or 2 tablespoon fresh parsley

Chicken Broth Recipe Instructions:

Saute carrots, onions, garlic, celery for 5 minutes in olive oil (affiliate) and ad a pinch of salt. Add frozen chicken, pepper, water, and wait to boil.

Then cook on a low flame for 45 minutes until the chicken thighs are done.

Add more salt if needed.

Use a strainer over a heatproof bowl. Pour the content and separate out the broth and ingredients.

When cooled, separate the chicken thighs and use them in a chicken dish for another day.

For the chicken salad, chop up the cooked chicken thigh and add your favorite mayo and fresh celery. Store in the refrigerator overnight for lunch the next day.

For the mashed potatoes and carrots, add the potatoes and carrots to a saucepan, add chicken broth (affiliate) and dairy-free butter, and mash until they are the consistency you like.

For the soup, cook orzo or pastina or any little pasta in a separate pot of boiling water and then drain.

Add the cooked pasta to the pot with the broth and heat to a boil.
