Caffeine Free Healing Chicken & Root Vegetable Soup

There is something deeply restorative about a pot of slow-simmered chicken and root vegetables, and this recipe delivers exactly that kind of nourishing, from-scratch comfort. Bone-in chicken pieces go into cold water with a splash of apple cider vinegar, which helps draw out the gelatin and minerals from the bones as the broth slowly builds over a gentle, unhurried simmer. Once the broth is strained and clear, hearty carrots, parsnips, sweet potato, and celery go in and cook until perfectly tender — each bite soft, sweet, and satisfying. Fresh thyme and rosemary do all the heavy lifting in the flavor department, so there's no need for store-bought stock or seasoning packets that might sneak in unwanted additives. Everything in this bowl is straightforwardly whole-food and naturally free of stimulants, making it an easy choice when you're being mindful about what goes into your body. A handful of fresh parsley scattered on top at the end adds a bright, herby finish that makes the whole thing feel a little more special. This is the kind of soup that earns a permanent spot in your weekly rotation.
