Make
- Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add first part of oil. When oil begins to shimmer, add chicken and sear on both sides until cooked through, ~6 minutes. Transfer to a plate and allow to cool. Return Dutch oven to the heat and add second part of oil. Add onions, celery and parsley with a pinch of salt. Saute until onions and celery are tender, ~3 minutes. Add lemon zest, stock, aminos, thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and allow to simmer for 5 minutes while flavors develop.
- While soup simmers, heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add butter and when it melts, add carrots, maple syrup and a generous pinch of salt. Saute carrots until golden brown and tender, ~6 minutes.
- Shred or chop chicken and add it back into the soup along with lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Discard thyme sprigs.
- Serve soup with carrots on the side and enjoy!
