Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, diced
-
2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
-
2 celery stalks, chopped
-
4 cups chicken broth
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1 cup half-and-half or milk

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
-
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
-
In the same pot, add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
-
Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and half-and-half. Stir in the thyme, basil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer.
-
Add the cooked chicken back into the pot and simmer the soup for 10-15 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the soup is heated through.
-
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
-
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
-
ou can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker version of this soup.
-
For a thicker soup, you can blend part of the soup and return it to the pot.
-
Feel free to add extra vegetables like potatoes or spinach for more texture and flavor.
- This soup pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a side salad.
