My friend, Lee, came to the rescue when my family was suffering from cold and flu. Doorbell rings and a Dutch oven of this “magic” soup appears. The taste is divine and we are thankful she shared this recipe with us. Regular chicken noodle, this is not. The flavors are divine. Let this soup be your tradition to bringing your family and friends back to good health…..or make it when you are perfectly healthy and share!
In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the chicken and cook for 10 minutes, turning over 2-3 times until golden brown. Add the celery, carrots, broth, thyme, oregano, salt and pepper to taste.
Increase the heat and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook at a gentle simmer until the veggies are tender for about an hour. You can also cook chicken breast in the crockpot for this recipe, and you can add some cooked brown rice if you wish.
