Description

A comforting chicken soup loaded with vegetables and potatoes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
  • 3 medium Yukon Gold or red potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3–4 minutes until they become translucent. Stir in the garlic, cooking just until fragrant—about 30 seconds.
  2. Toss in the sliced carrots and celery. Let them cook down for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the chicken broth and water. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Carefully stir in the chopped potatoes, cooked chicken, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Let the soup return to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 25–30 minutes. The potatoes should be fork-tender and the flavors fully melded.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. If you like, add a slice of crusty bread on the side or a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top for a little color.
