-Add chicken stock, bay leaves, and olives. Cover on medium heat and let simmer for 20 minutes.
-Do the fork test on one of the root vegetables like you would a potato to see if it’s ready. The broth should be thicker than when you initially covered it. Determine if it needs more time based on your fork test. If ready, serve over white rice and enjoy!
