- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 3 stalks celery stalks, sliced
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed and halved
- 8 cups chicken stock, low sodium

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.
In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for about 3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot, cook for another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the cubed sweet potato, sliced zucchini, and green beans, cook for 2 more minutes.
Pour the chicken stock and diced tomatoes (with juice) into the pot.
Return the chicken breasts to the pot and add the bay leaves, salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover the pot. Let the soup simmer for 25 minutes.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks, then return the shredded chicken to the pot.
Simmer the soup uncovered for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove bay leaves before serving.
Garnish each serving with freshly chopped parsley and adjust seasoning if necessary.
