Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast or thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Place the chicken in the pot and pour in the chicken broth.
  5. Add the diced potatoes, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bring the soup to a boil. Then, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and potatoes are tender.
  7. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with a fork. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaf.
  9. Serve hot with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary. Mash some potatoes in the pot for a thicker soup. Rotisserie chicken can be used for quicker preparation.
