Chicken Soup With Bread And Tomatoes Recipe

Step 1: Prepare Ingredients

Gather all the ingredients. You'll need: 2 chicken breasts, 4 cups of chicken broth, 2 medium tomatoes (chopped), 2 slices of bread (cubed), 1 onion (chopped), 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 carrot (sliced), 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste, fresh parsley for garnish.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until they are golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

Step 3: Saute Vegetables

In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced carrot. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4: Add Tomatoes and Broth

Add the chopped tomatoes to the pot and cook for another 3 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5: Simmer the Soup

Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together.

Step 6: Shred Chicken

While the soup is simmering, shred the cooked chicken breasts using two forks.

Step 7: Add Bread and Chicken

Add the cubed bread and shredded chicken to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the bread is softened.

Step 8: Season and Serve

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
