Instructions
Bring water and broth to a simmer in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan.
Add chicken and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes.
Remove pan from heat and cover, then let stand until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Transfer chicken to a plate and cool 10 minutes. Reserve poaching liquid, uncovered.
While chicken is poaching, cook onion in oil in a 4-quart heavy pot, covered, over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 6 minutes.
Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add carrots, celery, salt, and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
Add poaching liquid and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
While vegetables are cooking, shred chicken into 1/4-inch-wide strips (about 1 inch long). When vegetables are done simmering, stir chicken into soup along with parsley.
