Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts

Vegetables

  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 fresh tomatoes, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Broth and Herbs

  • 6 cups high-quality chicken broth
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme

Others

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Clean and dice the carrots, celery, onion, and tomatoes. Mince the garlic finely to ensure even flavor distribution throughout the soup.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Stir frequently and cook until onions are translucent and vegetables soften slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant without browning.
  3. Add the Chicken and Herbs: Place the chicken breasts into the pot. Add the fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs. Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
  4. Shred the Chicken and Simmer: Remove the chicken breasts from the pot and shred them finely using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes to meld all the flavors together.
  5. Final Taste and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Remove the herb sprigs before serving. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Use high-quality, low-sodium chicken broth for the best flavor.
  • Cut vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and texture.
  • Fresh rosemary and thyme are essential for authentic Italian flavor.
  • Shred chicken finely for even distribution in each bite.
  • Simmer on low heat to deepen the flavors rather than rapidly boiling.
