Start by washing and chopping your vegetables — the onion, carrots, and any others you’ve chosen for your Best Chicken Vegetable Soup. This prep not only saves time but also makes the cooking process smoother.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the aroma fills the room and the onions turn translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Toss in the diced chicken breast into the pot. Stir occasionally, cooking until it’s no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Introduce your mixed vegetables into the pot. Stir them in to combine, allowing them to cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Pour the chicken broth into the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any flavors sticking there!

Add thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.

Reduce the heat to low and let it all simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to mingle.

Once everything is perfectly cooked, ladle your Best Chicken Vegetable Soup into bowls. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon for an extra zing!
