Welcome to the channel and introduce the recipe for five-ingredient chicken soup.

List the core ingredients: chicken thighs, onion, garlic, carrots, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper.

Heat a large pot on the stove and add coconut oil (or butter or olive oil).

Chop the onion, garlic, and carrots roughly; note that the carrots do not need to be peeled for extra fiber.

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until they start to soften.

Add the chicken thighs to the pot and brown them on all sides.

Add the chopped carrots and toss everything together in the pot.

Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, then add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes to 2 hours until the chicken is tender and falling off the bones.

Remove the pot from the heat and serve the soup, optionally removing the chicken from the bones and adding noodles or cream if desired.
