Time 1h3m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 cups water, divided
3 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ cup olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1 ½ cups sliced carrots
1 ½ cups sliced celery
1 teaspoon salt
1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
¼ cup chicken soup base
2 tablespoons rubbed sage
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Mix 1 cup water and cornstarch in a bowl until cornstarch dissolves.
  • Heat olive oil and garlic in a large pot over medium heat for 1 minute. Add carrots, celery, and salt; cook until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add chicken thighs; cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 7 minutes. Add remaining 7 cups water and chicken soup base.
  • Bring to a boil, coaxing anything stuck to the bottom of the pot off with a spatula. Boil for 20 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture, sage, and pepper; mix well and continue to boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add lemon juice.
