Preparation Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil in a non-stick soup pot and sauté on medium heat the onion, carrots, leek, and celery with chopped thyme and about ⅔rds of the parsley for about 5 minutes until beginning to soften. Add the garlic and sauté for another 2 - 3 minutes.
  • Add the stock, bay leaves, season, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook with the lid on for 15 minutes.
  • Add the cooked chicken. Remove half of the mixture and bay leaves and pulse with a stick blender to thicken the soup and add flavor.
