Preparation
  1. In a large pot, sauté diced onion and minced garlic over medium heat until translucent.
  2. Add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and chopped celery.
  3. Season with salt and pepper; bring to a gentle boil.
Cooking
  1. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  2. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor. Swap chicken for shredded rotisserie chicken to save time. For a creamier texture, stir in a splash of cream or milk at the end. Store in the fridge for about 3-4 days, or freeze for longer storage.
