Start by seasoning the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken breast to the pot and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until browned. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. SautΓ© for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, return the chicken breast to the pot. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked, and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the chicken breast and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Add the frozen peas, frozen corn, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Stir to combine and let simmer for another 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together almond milk and flour until smooth. Pour this mixture into the soup, stirring constantly, and cook for about 5 minutes until the soup thickens slightly.
Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
