Main ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 large potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

Cooking

  2. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.
  3. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
  4. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serving

Notes

To store leftovers, let the soup cool to room temperature. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and place it in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to three days. You can also freeze it for up to three months. Just make sure to leave some space at the top of the container, as the soup will expand when frozen. Use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option. Feel free to add other vegetables like peas or corn for extra nutrition.
