This nourishing and healing chicken soup recipe is loaded with poached chicken, carrots, parsnips, celery, leek, onion, garlic and fresh herbs. It's a great cold weather soup! Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen.

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 medium carrots peeled and sliced
- 3 parsnips peeled and sliced
- 3 celery ribs sliced
- ½ medium onion diced
- 1 leek halved lengthwise, sliced, and rinsed
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 prigs fresh thyme
- 2 prigs fresh tarragon
- 1 bay leaf
- 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Saute the veggies. Heat the oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add the carrots, parsnips, celery, leek, and onion to the pot and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper, and stir for another minute.
- Poach the chicken. Add the thyme, tarragon, bay leaf, chicken, and broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer the soup for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
- Shred the chicken. With tongs, remove the chicken to a cutting board and then gently shred the chicken with two forks. Place the shredded chicken back into the pot and simmer for an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
- Serve. Remove the sprigs of thyme, tarragon and the bay leaf. Stir in the parsley, and garnish with additional fresh parsley and black pepper before serving.

Notes
- Those of you with an eagle eye may have noticed I added the garlic first in the video above. While that's not detrimental, I do believe the steps listed above are best - so follow those.
- For the shredded chicken hack (using a stand mixer) that I mention in the video, check out my shredded chicken recipe.
