Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add cubed chicken to the pot and cook until no longer pink on the outside, about 5-6 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika.
  3. Stir in potatoes, carrots, and celery. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Heat through without boiling (about 5 minutes). Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot with crusty bread for the ultimate comfort meal.

Notes

This soup freezes beautifully for up to 3 months. For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for heavy cream. Mash some potatoes against the side of the pot for a naturally thicker soup. Add a parmesan rind while simmering for extra umami depth.
