Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breast
- 2 cups corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 3 medium golden potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 2 pieces celery stalk
- 1 large carrot
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 piece bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by dicing the onion, celery, carrot, and potatoes into small, evenly-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, sauté the onion, celery, and carrot for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chicken breasts to the pot, along with the diced potatoes, corn kernels, chicken broth, and bay leaf. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the potatoes are tender.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer for 5 more minutes to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve hot with a side of crusty bread or crackers. Enjoy!
