Method
 

How to Make Irresistible Comfort Marry Me Chicken Soup
  1. Start by chopping your carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves finely.
  2. In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped carrots and celery, sautéing for about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts on top of the sautéed veggies. Season with salt, freshly cracked pepper, and dried thyme. Tuck in a few bay leaves.
  4. Pour enough chicken broth into the pot to cover the ingredients by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and return it to the pot, adjusting seasoning as desired.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnishing each with fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

For extra creaminess, consider stirring in heavy cream or coconut milk towards the end. Always remove bay leaves before serving to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
