Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a large pot, combine the chicken or vegetable broth and water. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and chopped onion. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Potato

    Add the minced garlic and diced potato to the sautéed vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Cooking

    Combine Ingredients

    Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the pot with the broth. Stir in the salt, black pepper, dried thyme, and bay leaf. If using, add the shredded chicken.

  2. 5

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Finishing Touches

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
