Instructions:
  • Sear the chicken legs until golden. Sear the vegetables until they develop deep color. Place the seared chicken and vegetables in a large pot. Add water and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim off any foam that forms.
  • Tie the herb bundles with kitchen twine or a rubber band and add them to the pot. Bring back to a boil, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Simmer gently for about 60 minutes, until the broth takes on a rich color from the chicken and vegetables.
  • Taste and adjust salt if needed. Remove the herbs, debone the chicken and serve the soup warm.
