Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 small onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat to prepare for sautéing the vegetables.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Add broth and simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Incorporate chicken and cream: Stir in the shredded chicken, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper. Continue to simmer the soup for an additional 10 minutes to blend the flavors well and heat through.
- Garnish and serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of fresh flavor and color before serving.
Notes
- Use cooked rotisserie chicken as a time saver instead of cooking chicken breasts yourself.
- For a thicker soup, simmer a few extra minutes or add a small amount of flour or cornstarch slurry before adding cream.
- Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste preference.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or a non-dairy cream alternative.
