Ingredients
  

1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tsp dried thyme

½ tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp olive oil

Fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent (about 3-5 minutes).

    Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken breasts to the pot, seasoning with salt, pepper, thyme, and paprika. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, around 5-7 minutes.

      Add Potatoes and Corn: Stir in the diced potatoes and corn kernels, mixing well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.

        Pour in Broth: Add the chicken broth to the pot, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

          Blend for Creaminess (optional): For a creamier texture, you can use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup until smooth, or transfer a couple of cups to a blender (be cautious with hot liquids).

            Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.
