- 8 cups chicken broth

Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the chicken pieces, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, chicken broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
