4 cups low‑sodium chicken broth or chicken stock
1 cup carrots, sliced
1 cup celery, sliced
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
Instructions

Cooking Tip
If you don’t have fresh basil, oregano, or thyme, use dried instead. Substitute 1 teaspoon of dried herbs for each tablespoon of fresh.
If you want to lower the sodium further, consider making your own ‘Simple Chicken Broth‘ for more control over the ingredients.
