For the soup:

• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced thinly (for soup)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the base:

   • In the Thermomix bowl, add the chopped carrot, turnip, leek, celery, and parsley. Chop for 10 seconds at Speed 4, until finely diced.

2. Prepare the broth:

   • Add the chicken, 6 cups of water, saffron, bay leaves, and season with salt and pepper.
   • Cook for 30 minutes at 100°C (212°F) on Speed 1.
   • After cooking, strain the broth and set aside the chicken and broth for later use.

3. Combine the ingredients:

   • Return the cooked broth to the Thermomix bowl along with the shredded chicken.
   • Add diced potatoes and sliced carrots.

4. Simmer the soup:

   • Cook for 18 minutes at 100°C (212°F) on Speed 1.
   • Check the tenderness of the vegetables; if needed, extend cooking time until they’re soft.
5. Serve and enjoy:
   • This savory soup is best served hot. Ladle it into bowls and dig in!

Tips:

• If you prefer a heartier soup, cook some noodles separately and add them to the broth just before serving!
• For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh tarragon at the end.
• Feel free to customize the veggies based on what you have on hand—zucchini, green beans, or peas work wonderfully, too!
