Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
9g
2 onions
300g
3 carrots
180g
1 tbsp fresh thyme
2.40g
3 cups chicken soup
720g
2 chicken breasts
170g
2 cups mushrooms
170g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 cup greek yogurt
120g
1 garlic clove
3g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Chop the onions finely.
- Peel and slice the carrots.
- Slice the mushrooms.
- Mince the garlic.
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.
2. Sauté Aromatics:
- In a large pot, heat 2 tsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and fragrant, approximately 3-5 minutes.
3. Add Vegetables and Herbs:
- 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.
4. Add Chicken and Broth:
- 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.
5. Simmer the Soup:
- 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.
6. Incorporate Greek Yogurt and Lemon Juice:
- 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.
7. Adjust Seasoning:
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and black pepper, if needed.
8. Serve:
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls.
- Garnish with additional fresh thyme if desired.
9. Enjoy!
- 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!
