How To Make Chicken Soup with Spinach and Artichokes

- Add chicken broth to pot and bring to a gentle boil. Add chicken thighs and bay leaf. Gently boil until chicken is cooked through (chicken pieces will take 5-7 minutes, whole thighs take 10-15 minutes)

Can You Put Raw Chicken In Soup To Cook
Yes, you are basically poaching the chicken while flavoring the meat and the broth.
You can cut the chicken into bite sized pieces, cook them and serve straight from the pot.
Or, the method I prefer, cook the chicken thighs whole. Once cooked through remove from pot and chop or shred the meat. Return to the pot the last 2 minutes of cooking to reheat. I prefer this method because I like shredded chicken in my chicken soup.
