Instructions:
- Chop the onions finely.

- Add the sliced carrots and mushrooms to the pot.
- Stir in 1 tbsp of fresh thyme. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Add the diced chicken breasts to the pot. Cook until they are no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Let the soup simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes or until the chicken and vegetables are fully cooked and tender.
- Remove the pot from heat.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt until well blended. The yogurt will add a creamy texture to the soup.
- Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice to brighten the flavors.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper, if needed.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls.
- Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
- Serve the chicken soup hot and enjoy a comforting and nutritious meal.
Tips:
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken breasts.
- For added depth of flavor, sauté the mushrooms separately until they are golden brown before adding them to the soup.
- Consider using homemade chicken broth for an even richer flavor.
- For a creamier soup, blend a portion of the soup with an immersion blender before adding the Greek yogurt.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra burst of flavor.
And there you have it—a comforting bowl of homemade chicken soup that's sure to please everyone's taste buds. With its rich flavors and wholesome ingredients, it's a dish that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Feel free to make adjustments as needed and enjoy your meal!
