I use water when I don't have enough broth. And I don't always add parsley and garlic. Nor the meat. It doesn't seem to make any difference whatsoever, in terms how much I enjoy this recipe. It smells and tastes delicious.

A perfect winter soup, filling and flavorful, you'll be glad this double recipe means leftovers! Carrots and garlic provide some antioxidant power. Round it out with a green salad and whole grain crackers.

1 cup sliced baby carrots
1 cup chopped yellow onion

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
6 cups chicken broth
