How to Make Comforting Creamy Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, slicing the carrots, and shredding any pre-cooked chicken if using.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Heat a splash of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic; sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add Vegetables: Toss in the sliced carrots and fresh corn, stirring well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the carrots are softened but still vibrant.
  4. Add Broth: Pour in 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Cook Chicken: Carefully add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts to the pot. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and shred easily.
  6. Shred and Season: Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot, mixing in salt, pepper, and thyme to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
