Shred chicken and place back into broth. ● You can also purchase 2 pounds of precooked, pre-shreadded chicken from your local deli.
2. ● Add one drained can of carrots, onions and celery and add any additional ingredients you desire to your pot. Be careful in adding any additional salt if you're using broth with sodium. ● Know that you can add fresh carrots, celery and onions. Just make certain they are all small chopped.
