Easy Homemade Chicken Soup with Fresh Vegetables

Ingredients

• 4 chicken pieces
• 4 shallots
• 3 garlic cloves
• Assorted vegetables for soup (e.g., carrots, green beans)
• Cooking oil, as needed
• Salt, to taste
• Sugar, to taste
• Water, as needed

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   Start by boiling the chicken pieces in water until they release their flavorful broth, which should take approximately 10 minutes. This process helps develop a rich base for your soup.

2. Sauté Aromatics:
   In a separate pan, heat a little cooking oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and garlic, cooking until they become fragrant and translucent.

3. Add Vegetables and Broth:
   Once the shallots and garlic are aromatic, add chopped carrots to the pan. Sauté briefly before pouring in the chicken broth you prepared earlier. Stir well to combine.

4. Simmer the Soup:
   Allow the soup to simmer until the carrots start to soften. Then, add green beans or other chosen vegetables. Continue cooking until all the vegetables are tender.

5. Season the Soup:
   Season the soup with salt and sugar to taste. You may also add a seasoning cube if desired. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.

6. Serve:
   Once the vegetables are cooked through and the seasoning is adjusted, your simple chicken soup is ready to enjoy. Serve hot and savor the comforting flavors.
