- Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- Low-sodium chicken broth
- Heavy cream
- Fresh garlic
- Fresh thyme
- Fresh parsley
- Carrots
- Celery
- Onions
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Start by chopping the onion, carrots, and celery into small pieces. Mince the garlic and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then add the onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Add the browned chicken thighs back to the pot along with any juices that have collected. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender. You can easily shred the chicken at this point if you prefer smaller pieces in your soup.
- Once the chicken is cooked, stir in the heavy cream, fresh thyme, and parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy! You can garnish with more fresh herbs or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese if desired.
