Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound chicken breasts
- 1 medium onion
- 3 stalks celery stalks
- 2 medium carrots
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
While the oil is heating, prepare the vegetables. Dice the onion, slice the celery and carrots, and mince the garlic.
Add the diced onion to the pot and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion turns translucent.
Add the minced garlic, celery slices, and carrot slices to the pot. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place the chicken breasts in the pot and pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the chicken is fully submerged.
Add the bay leaves, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to the broth.
Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot, shred them using two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the soup.
Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Remove the bay leaves before serving.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot.
