Ingredients

  • 1 pound (about 2 small) boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 4 Medium Red Potatoes cubed
  • 4 medium carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 bay leaf optional
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray or a little bit of oil and heat over medium-high heat. Salt and pepper chicken and cook until well-browned.
  2. Add the rest of your ingredients to the pot and bring to a boil.
  3. Lower to medium heat and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the vegetables are fork tender. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • This could easily be made with rotisserie or pre-cooked, shredded chicken. In that case, I would add the meat in the last five minutes of cooking time.
  • Freezer Notes: If you don't mind the texture of frozen potatoes, this soup freezes well in individual servings for a ready-made meal. Just pour into freezer bags and freeze flat on a cookie tray. When soup is frozen, stack. Just be sure to defrost it in the refrigerator. The potatoes will turn to complete mush if you defrost in the microwave.
