Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create a delicious Chicken Potato Soup:
1. Prepare the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the boneless chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Add Potatoes and Broth: Stir in the diced potatoes, chicken broth, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil.
4. Cook the Chicken: Return the browned chicken breasts to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
5. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
6. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to heat through for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Garnish and Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
