Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your own Creamy Crac Chicken Soup:
1. Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 7-10 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the pot and let it cool slightly before shredding.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
3. Prepare the Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, and add the thyme and oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
4. Add the Chicken: Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces, and return it to the pot. Stir to combine.
5. Incorporate the Cream: Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring gently. Continue to cook on low heat until the soup is heated through, about 5-10 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with optional toppings like chopped parsley, croutons, or shredded cheese for added texture.
By following these steps, you’ll create a rich and creamy chicken soup that’s bound to impress.
