Ingredients
- 2 (about 8 oz total, skin-on) organic chicken thighs
- 4 cups homemade bone broth
- 1 large, diced into 1/4-inch coins carrots
- 3, finely chopped celery ribs
- 2 packed cups spinach
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbsp, chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Step 1: Place chicken thighs in a large pot with bone broth, carrots, and celery. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface for 5 minutes.
- Step 2: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes until chicken is fork-tender and vegetables are tender but not mushy.
- Step 3: Remove chicken thighs, shred meat from bones, and return to pot. Stir in spinach until wilted (about 1 minute), then add sea salt and dill. Simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes until flavors meld and broth is fragrant.
