Ingredients
  

For the soup
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced Can substitute with turkey breast for a healthier option.
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream Can substitute with coconut milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced chicken to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the sliced carrots and celery, cooking for another 4-5 minutes to soften.
  5. Add the chicken broth, dried thyme, and dried basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
