• Gather all the necessary ingredients: two boneless chicken breasts, two cups of chopped carrots, two cups of chopped celery, one finely chopped onion, two cloves of minced garlic, six cups of chicken broth, one cup of heavy cream, three tablespoons of oil, and a mixture of spices including salt, pepper, and thyme.
• Start by marinating the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a pinch of thyme. Leave those flavors to seep and merge overnight in the fridge.
• The following day, heat oil in a large pot and add the marinated chicken. Cook it until it is evenly browned and then set aside.
• In the same pot, sauté the onions until translucent and add the minced garlic. Fry until the garlic’s savory aroma hits your nose.
• Add the chopped carrots and celery. Mix it well with the sautéed onions and garlic.
• Bring back the browned chicken into the pot. Add the chicken broth and let it boil.
• Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the veggies are tender.
• Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
• Gradually add the heavy cream, while stirring continuously.
• Simmer it for another 10 minutes, and voila – a creamy, hearty, and utterly delicious chicken vegetable soup is ready to tickle your taste buds! Ensure you taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
