Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium pot, combine 4 cups chicken stock, 1 medium thinly sliced carrot, 1/2 fennel bulb thinly sliced, 1 leek (white part only, thinly sliced), and 2 celery stalks thinly sliced. Add 4 thyme sprigs and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  2. Step 2: Simmer uncovered for 25 minutes, skimming any foam from the surface until the vegetables are tender and the broth is aromatic.
  3. Step 3: Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a clean bowl, pressing gently on the vegetables to extract all flavor. Discard solids.
  4. Step 4: Return the strained broth to the pot, add 1 tsp lemon zest, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper. Warm gently over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring to dissolve the salt and zest.
  5. Step 5: Just before serving, stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley until evenly distributed and the broth is fragrant.
