How to Make Kittencal's Hearty Chicken Soup
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 teaspoon fresh thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 4 minutes until softened.
- Add 8 cups chicken broth, 2 cups diced potatoes, and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Using a potato masher, partially mash the potatoes in the broth to create a slightly thickened texture. Leave some potatoes whole for texture.
- Add 1 cup sliced carrots, 1 cup fresh spinach (optional), and 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced).
- Bring back to a simmer, cover, and cook for another 15 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup cold chicken broth and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour until smooth.
- Slowly whisk the slurry into the simmering soup and cook, stirring constantly, until the soup has thickened slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper to taste.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
