Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large yellow onion (diced)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 3 medium carrots (sliced into rounds)
• 3 stalks celery (chopped)
• 3 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 6 cups chicken broth (low-sodium)
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes (canned, with juices)
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 cups fresh spinach (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove from the pot and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and diced potatoes. Sauté for 5 minutes to slightly soften the vegetables.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes (with their juices). Stir to combine.

Step 6

Add the bay leaf and dried thyme. Return the chicken breasts to the pot and bring the soup to a boil.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.

Step 9

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.

Step 10

Stir in the chopped fresh parsley. If using, add fresh spinach to the pot and let it wilt for 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers and enjoy!
