Ingredients
  

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • fresh herbs (thyme and parsley)

Equipment

  • large pot or Dutch oven
  • wooden spoon
  • knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • ladle

Method
 

  1. Sauté the carrots, celery, onion, and garlic in olive oil until softened.
  2. Add the chicken breasts and brown them on all sides.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked through, shred it and return to the pot.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs to taste.

Notes

Make it lighter by swapping heavy cream with half-and-half. Add sun-dried tomatoes or red pepper flakes for extra flavor. This soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a light green salad.
