Method
 

How to Make Cozy Healthy Chicken Soup
  1. Begin by chopping carrots, celery, and onion into bite-sized pieces. Mince at least three garlic cloves.
  2. In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Stir in the chopped carrots and celery, letting them soften for around 5 minutes.
  4. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the pot, followed by the chicken broth. Sprinkle in dried oregano and black pepper, then bring everything to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cover the pot and let your soup simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot, stirring to combine.
  7. Serve hot, and feel free to garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

Serve with crusty bread for a delightful dipping experience. Adjust black pepper and oregano to personal taste for best results.
