In a deep pot, sauté the onions, chicken, and vegetables in olive oil. Add water, spices, and the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, then reduce heat and cover for an hour and 15 minutes.
Remove the bouquet garni, turn off the heat, and add a handful of chopped parsley and savory.
* You can add root vegetables, zucchini, potatoes, etc.
* For a clear soup: remove the vegetables and chicken at the end of cooking; you can debone the chicken and return it to the pot.
