Discard the foam.","Remove chicken thighs from the pot and chop them into roughly bite-size pieces on a chopping board. The chicken may tend to fall apart anyway as you handle it. While chicken is out of the pot, it's a good time to clear the broth further if desired.","Add the chicken pieces back into the pot.","Add carrots, celery, dill, and stock to the pot. Adjust heat to bring back to a simmer.","Simmer for at least 30 minutes (an hour is better, hours even better) to cook the chicken and mix the flavors.","Lightly salt to taste; individual diners can add more salt to their bowls if desired."],"categories":["Soup recipes","Recipes for soup","Recipes using chicken thigh","Kid-friendly recipes","Recipes using carrot","Recipes using celery","Recipes using dill","Recipes using chicken broth and stock"],"prep_time_minutes":null,"cook_time_minutes":null,"total_time_minutes":120,"servings":"Varies","yield_text":null,"difficulty":"easy","source_name":"wikibooks","source_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook:Chicken_Soup_I","source_ref":"4523937","authors_url":"https://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=Cookbook:Chicken_Soup_I&action=history","license":"CC BY-SA 4.0","license_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","extraction_confidence":null,"content_hash":"2b205cea116149478c778cb21f29498c2e8e4808277f2c68c3bdb44d68a98e5c","created_at":"2026-08-02T14:42:58Z","updated_at":"2026-08-02T17:11:31Z","notice":null,"url":"https://recipecontextprotocol.com/recipes/chicken-soup-i"}
