Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (diced)
- 2 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- 2 medium carrots (chopped)
- 2 stalks celery (chopped)
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for sautéing
Instructions
- Sauté the Aromatics: Heat a splash of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Add diced chicken breasts and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until chicken is golden brown and no longer pink, about 7 minutes.
- Add Broth and Seasonings: Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in dried thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Make It Creamy: Stir in heavy cream until well combined. Let it simmer gently for about 5 more minutes to meld flavors.
- Thicken It Up (optional): For a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture while stirring continuously until desired thickness is reached.
- Serve With Flair: Transfer the soup to bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or croutons if desired. Pair it with crusty bread or a fresh salad for an unforgettable meal experience!
