Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken meat
  • 1 cup diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 1 cup frozen green beans
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth. Add the diced potatoes, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
  5. Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender.
  6. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, frozen green beans, and frozen corn. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables to finish cooking and the flavors to combine.
  7. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Season the soup with salt and pepper to your preference.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For quicker prep, you can use pre-cut mirepoix mix instead of chopping fresh onion, carrots, and celery.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, remove about 1 cup of the broth and vegetables after the potatoes are cooked, blend until smooth, and stir the mixture back into the pot.
  • This soup freezes well; cool completely before storing in airtight containers for future meal planning.
