Savory Slow-Cooked Caramelized Onion Soup with Chicken
A richly aromatic, slow-cooked caramelized onion soup enhanced with tender shredded chicken. Perfect for any meal of the day, this comforting bowl combines deeply caramelized onions with a hint of garlic and thyme, all simmered in a light, savory chicken broth that infuses every spoonful with warmth and flavor.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
2 medium Yellow Onions
2 cloves Garlic
1 cup Low Sodium Chicken Broth
2 tsp Olive Oil
0.5 tsp Dried Thyme
1 Bay Leaf
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil.
Thinly slice the yellow onions and mince the garlic. Add the onions to the oil and cook slowly, stirring occasionally for 25-30 minutes until they turn a deep golden brown and are fully caramelized.
While the onions are caramelizing, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper. In a separate skillet, sear the chicken breast over medium heat for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. It doesn’t need to be cooked through at this point as it will finish cooking in the soup.
Once the onions are caramelized, add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and add the dried thyme and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Place the seared chicken breast into the pot. Cover and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked.
Remove the chicken breast, shred it using two forks, and return the shredded chicken back into the soup. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Stir the soup well, and then ladle into bowls. Enjoy warm as a comforting breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
