Heat up some neutral oil to to sear 4 boneless chicken thighs
Make sure your oil is hot before you put them in or they will stick
And by hot I mean no more than a 5 on your dial, just make sure its heated up for a few minutes
Sear each side 5-7 minutes until theyre brown and remove

Chop up your leek or two leeks for extra leekage
Chop up some amount of carrots
Chop up some amount of celery
Chop up a whole bulb of garlic
Try not to feel bad about how mad your hands are at you
Chop up a chunk or ginger or shred it while disregarding how your hands feel

Add all those veggies to the pot and make a hot salad for a few minutes. Add a bit more oil also

Add 4 cups of broth (I use broth concentrate and just add more water as needed)
Feel free to over water it so it cooks down if it's not soupy enough for everything to submerge at first

Start with 2 teaspoons of salt and add more as needed once you taste the whole concoction
I keep forgetting to salt the chicken before searing but it wontt matter since its
All getting infused when we put it back in so salt the chicken before, after, no one is ever gonna notice and if they say they can they haven't double blind tested it

Get the chicken back in so the broth is boiling it for at least another twenty minute or more until its cooked through

While that chicken is in there add:

1 tablespoon or so of cumin, the greatest spice of all time
1 tablespoon of turmeric, the spice that can heal literally anything except when it doesn't
Some pepper pepper pepper

Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks

Now that your hands have forgiven you, give them something else to be mad about and micro chop two potatoes

Add one can of vegan lard

By the time the potatoes are cooked it's probably done
But check for WABS and adjust the salt

If you're not sure about adding more salt, put aside a small bowl and sprinkle in some salt and wangjangle it. You should be able to tell from comparing if it tastes more full, or too salty

If you added too much salt, fake your death

If you didn't add too much salt, bask in the adulation and praise that is coming your way
