Quality of Chicken: Use good-quality, free-range chicken for the best flavor and nutrient content.
Slow Simmering: Allow the broth to simmer gently; rushing this process can result in a less flavorful soup.
Skimming the Broth: Regularly skim the broth for clarity and to remove excess fat.
Freshness in Garnish: Fresh parsley not only adds color but also a burst of freshness to each serving.
Serving with Lemon: The addition of fresh lemon juice before serving adds a bright, acidic contrast to the rich broth.
Bone Broth Variation: For an even richer broth, use chicken bones and simmer for an extended period to extract collagen.
Storage: Store any leftover soup in the refrigerator and enjoy it within a few days. The flavors often deepen with time.
