A warm and inviting chicken soup that’s perfect for chilly days, packed with tender chicken and fresh vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless chicken breasts
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the chopped onions, carrots, and celery, sautéing until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and oregano; cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the boneless chicken breasts and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to let it simmer for 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken carefully, shred it using two forks, and return it to the pot.
- Introduce the diced potatoes to the soup and let it simmer until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Letting the soup simmer longer develops a richer broth. Be cautious not to overcook the chicken.
