1 onion, peeled, quartered
2 cloves garlic, peeled, smashed, but left whole
4 - 5 chicken thigh fillets
7 cups water
1 medium carrot (about 150g), peeled, diced
100g green beans/string beans, de-stringed, chopped
1 small head (or 1/2 regular head) broccoli (about 200g), cut into small florets, stem peeled, diced
1 cup frozen green peas
100g. alphabet pasta (or any small pasta for soup)
Sea salt, freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Place chicken fillets, onion and garlic in a pot and cover with 7 cups water. Bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer. Skim off any scum that comes to surface. Season with salt and pepper. Let this cook about 10 - 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from pot (leaving broth) and set aside. Add carrots to simmering broth, cook about 5 minutes. Add green beans and broccoli; cook until all vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. While vegetables are cooking, shred chicken meat. When vegetables are tender,, add peas and alphabet pasta' cook about 4 minutes more, until pasta is done. You can choose to fish out onion and garlic at this point, but I just leave them in. Add shredded chicken back to pot, stir, then make a final taste for seasonin, take off heat and serve.
