Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large pot, add the chicken breasts and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through. Remove the chicken, let cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    While the chicken is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the carrots, celery, potatoes, and chop the onion and garlic. Trim and cut the green beans into smaller pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In the same pot, add a splash of oil if needed and sauté the onions and garlic over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Vegetables and Broth

    Add the diced carrots, celery, potatoes, and green beans to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and water. Stir to combine.

  3. 5

    Season the Soup

    Add the chopped chicken back into the pot along with the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender.

Finishing Touches
