Add chicken thighs (with skin on and bone in) to the pot and brown on all sides.

Add chopped carrots and toss everything together.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients.

Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Cook for 45 minutes to 2 hours until the chicken is tender and falling off the bone.

Remove the pot from heat and serve the soup, optionally removing the chicken from the bones and returning it to the pot.
