Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1–1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, diced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Soup Base:

  • ½ cup diced carrots
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup diced onions
  • ¼ cup diced sundried tomatoes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup flour

  1. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot, add chicken, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Brown for 4-5 minutes.

  3. Add Flour: Sprinkle in flour, stir well, and add tomato paste if using.
