Thyme Soup with Chicken or White Beans

Thanks to Melanie Pulla at Herb Geek for sharing this post! See her blog for a thyme spread recipe, too.

You will need:

  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 onion

  • 2 celery stalks

  • 2 carrots

  • 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 head of garlic

  • 1 1/2 quarts chicken stock

  • 2 Tablespoons thyme

  • 1 cup diced, cooked chicken OR 1 cup cooked canellini beans (optional)

  • Chopped leafy greens or other vegetables as desired

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Dice onions, carrots, and celery.

Cover the bottom of a stock pot with olive oil and warm over medium heat. Add diced onion and saute for 10 minutes. 

Meanwhile, mince all the garlic.

Add celery, carrots, vinegar, and a pinch of sea salt. Saute 10 more minutes.

Add garlic to vegetables, saute one more minute, and add stock, thyme, and chopped leafy greens or other vegetables. Bring to a boil, turn the heat down to low and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add cooked chicken or beans if desired, taste, and season with sea salt and pepper.

Serve hot.
