Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 3 medium-sized russet potatoes
• 2 medium-sized carrots
• 2 stalks celery stalks
• 1 medium-sized yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 cups water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Dice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Peel and slice the carrots, chop the celery, and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and water. Add the diced potatoes, cooked chicken, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. If desired, mash some of the potatoes with a fork or a potato masher directly in the pot to create a creamier texture.

Step 8

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
