Ingredients:
Instructions:
1. Heat olive oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
2. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add diced carrot, celery, and potato. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes.
5. Add chicken pieces and cook until they are no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and add dried thyme. Stir to combine.
7. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and chicken is cooked through.
8. Add frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
9. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste.
10. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Special Tips or Variations:
- For extra protein, add a beaten egg slowly into the simmering soup while stirring to create egg ribbons.
- Use leftover cooked chicken to reduce cooking time; add it in step 8 and warm through only.
- Add a handful of cooked quinoa or lentils for additional protein and texture.
- If you prefer a creamier soup, stir in 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or cream just before serving (off heat).
