Ingredients

• 4 bone-in chicken thighs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 medium carrot, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 6 cups chicken bone broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 thyme sprigs
• 0.25 cup parsley leaves, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 cups spinach leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs, skin side down, and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 2

Lower the heat to medium, add the chopped onion, celery, and carrot to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Return the chicken thighs to the pot along with the chicken bone broth, bay leaf, thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 45 minutes. Ensure the chicken is cooked through and the broth is flavorful.

Step 6

Remove the chicken thighs from the soup. Discard the skin and bones, shred the meat with two forks and return it to the pot.

Step 7

Add the lemon juice, chopped spinach leaves, and parsley. Stir well and let simmer for another 5 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Step 8

Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your nourishing low-carb chicken collagen soup.
