Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 pound chicken thighs, skinless and boneless, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 cups chicken bone broth
- 2 tablespoons collagen powder (unflavored, high-quality)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot, stirring to coat with oil. Cook for 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the chicken pieces to the pot. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken bone broth and add the bay leaf.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low to simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 30 minutes.
Remove the bay leaf and discard.
Stir in the collagen powder until completely dissolved.
Add the fresh parsley and lemon juice, stirring to combine.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with a little extra parsley if desired.
