Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, sliced

2 stalks celery, diced

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups frozen corn (or fresh if in season)

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened (about 3-4 minutes). Add the sliced carrots and diced celery, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until they start to soften.

    Cook Chicken: Stir in the diced chicken breasts and cook until they are no longer pink (about 5-6 minutes). Ensure the chicken is evenly cooked through.

      Add Broth and Spices: Pour in the chicken broth, then add the frozen corn, thyme, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

        Create Creaminess: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.

          Finish and Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
