Ingredients
Scale
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup chopped yellow onion (about 1 medium)
1 cup chopped carrots (about 2 medium)
1 cup chopped celery (about 2 stalks)
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
Add onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and add thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Return chicken to the pot. Add frozen peas and corn. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream and heat gently until warmed through. Do not boil.
Ladle soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a thicker soup, you can add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with the vegetables and cook for 1 minute before adding the broth.
You can use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken for this recipe.
Feel free to add other vegetables like potatoes or green beans.
