Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken pieces and remove them before serving. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar at the end of cooking to brighten the flavors. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal. Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more or less broth according to your preference.
