Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb chicken breast boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 2 onion diced, medium
- 16 oz baby bella mushroom thinly sliced
- 6 carrot peeled and diced
- 4 celery diced, stalks
- 5 - 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- ¼ cup arrowroot starch
- 8 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup half and half or more, as needed
- 2 Tablespoon parsley chopped fresh leaves

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to the stockpot and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes; set aside.
- Heat another 2 Tbsp oil in the stockpot over medium heat. Add onion, mushrooms, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 - 6 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- In a large bowl, whisk in arrowroot starch with 1/4 cup of the chicken stock until combined, about 1 minute. Add in remaining chicken stock, chicken breasts and arrowroot starch mixture to the stockpot, and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 4-5 minutes.
- Stir in half and half until heated through, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the soup is too thick, add more half and half as needed until desired consistency is reached.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh rosemary, if desired.
