Level:
Easy

Prep:
15 min

Cook:
25 min

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs

2 cups mixed vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, zucchini)

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Heat butter in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 5-6 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Add the mixed vegetables, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pour in enough chicken broth to cover the ingredients, then bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Remove the pot from the heat and taste, then adjust the seasoning as needed.

Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs or crusty bread croutons, if desired.

Storage & Reheating

To store the soup, let it cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months. To reheat the soup, simply microwave it in the microwave on high for 2-3 minutes or reheat it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Enjoy!
