- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
- 2 Zucchini, spiralized into noodles

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Add to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, add minced garlic, carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Pour in the chicken broth, then add the bay leaf and fresh thyme. Bring to a simmer.
Return the browned chicken breasts to the pot.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot, shred them with two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the soup.
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles (zoodles) to the pot. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are tender.
Remove the bay leaf and discard it.
Garnish the soup with fresh parsley before serving.
