Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 200g) boneless skinless chicken breast
- 2 medium carrot
- 1 medium zucchini
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Peel and slice the carrots into thin rounds. Slice the zucchini into half-moons.
Step 2: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is lightly browned but not fully cooked through.
Step 3: Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Step 4: Add the carrots and zucchini to the pot. Stir well to combine with the chicken and garlic. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften.
Step 5: Pour in the chicken broth and stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil.
Step 6: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
Step 7: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 8: Serve hot, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy your healthy 1 2 3 Soup!
