Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and celery. Cook until fragrant and golden.
  2. Add diced chicken breast and cook until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in carrots, peas, corn, and potatoes. Cook for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly.
  4. Pour in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and chicken is fully cooked.

  6. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Garnish with parsley and serve warm.

Notes

This soup is great for meal prep and freezes well. Add lemon juice or chili flakes for extra brightness or heat. For low-carb, swap potatoes with cauliflower.
