Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 units celery stalks, diced
• 2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 unit bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and add them to the pot. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, approximately 7 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 4

Add the frozen corn, chicken broth, and almond milk to the pot. Stir everything together carefully.

Step 5

Introduce the bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the soup. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 6

Cover the pot and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to cook through.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the soup, stirring constantly.

Step 8

Continue to simmer the soup for another 5 minutes or until it slightly thickens.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf before serving and garnish the soup with fresh parsley.
