Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
In a large stockpot, melt the butter over medium heat and gently saute the onion, garlic and chicken for about 5 minutes, until the onion is tender.
Add the carrots, celery and green beans, thyme leaves, and enough water to just cover the vegetables (about 5-6 cups). Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve piping hot!
