Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, slicing the carrots, and shredding the cooked chicken if you’re using that instead of raw. Gather everything to keep your workspace organized.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a splash of oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, sautéing until they're translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add Vegetables: Toss in the carrots and sweetcorn, stirring them into the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Add Broth: Pour the chicken broth into the pot, stirring gently. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Cook Chicken: Introduce the chicken breasts to the pot, reducing the heat afterward. Let everything simmer for 15-20 minutes.
  6. Finish Soup: Remove the chicken breasts, shred them, and return to the pot. Stir in your seasonings and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  7. Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure chicken is fully cooked for the best texture. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
