The length of time to boil chicken for soup will depend on a few factors, such as the size of the chicken pieces and the desired texture of the chicken in the soup.
As a general rule of thumb, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs should be boiled for about 20-25 minutes, while bone-in chicken pieces (such as drumsticks or wings) may need to be boiled for 30-40 minutes.
It's important to note that chicken should always be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's safe to eat. You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the pot and shred or chop it into smaller pieces to add to your soup. You can also strain the broth and use it as the base for your soup, adding vegetables, noodles, and other ingredients as desired.
