1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free option)
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups carrots, sliced
2 cups celery, diced
1 teaspoon garlic herb seasoning
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Introduce the sliced carrots and diced celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
Place the chicken breasts into the pot, followed by the homemade chicken broth. Bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the garlic herb seasoning, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
Stir in the heavy cream and continue to simmer for another 5-10 minutes.
Adjust seasoning if needed and remove from heat. Let the soup rest for a few minutes before serving.
