Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season 2 lbs chicken breast with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then shred into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Step 2: In a large pot, sauté 1 diced onion, 2 sliced carrots, 2 sliced celery stalks, and 3 minced garlic cloves in 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat for 5 minutes until softened.
  3. Step 3: Add 6 cups vegetable broth, 1 tbsp fresh thyme, and 1 tsp fresh rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  4. Step 4: Stir in shredded chicken and 1/2 cup heavy cream. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the soup is creamy and slightly thickened. Season with remaining 0.5 tsp salt and 0.5 tsp black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with additional thyme and a drizzle of cream if desired.
