Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a deep skillet, sauté the onion in butter over low heat until it reaches a caramelized softness. It's best to use low heat to prevent the onion and butter from burning. In another skillet, heat olive oil and sear the chicken thighs until they develop a golden-brown crust. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.

Step 2

Add finely chopped carrots, garlic, and celery to the onions, and sauté together for three minutes. Then, transfer the fried chicken thighs to the saucepan, add thyme and bay leaf, and pour in water.

Step 3

Boil for half an hour, taste, season with salt and pepper, then add diced potatoes, zucchini, and tomatoes. Cook for another ten minutes, add green peas, and boil for an additional three minutes. Stir in finely chopped basil mixed with Gorgonzola, let it sit for three minutes, and then serve in bowls.
