Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Ingredients

• 2 tsp olive oil
• 2 medium uncooked leek(s), trimmed to white and light-green parts, cleaned, and thinly sliced
• 1 medium uncooked carrot(s), thinly sliced
• 1 medium uncooked onion(s), finely chopped
• 1/2 pound(s) uncooked boneless, skinless chicken thigh(s), or skinned and trimmed of all visible fat
• 3 cup(s) reduced-sodium chicken broth
• 1 Tbsp parsley, fresh, chopped
• 1/2 tsp table salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks, carrot, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes. Add the chicken and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let cool slightly. Remove the chicken from the bones and chop; return the chicken to the soup. Add the parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the chicken is heated through, 2–3 minutes.
