Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 cups (720ml) low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups (300g) fresh or frozen sweet corn kernels

1 medium potato, peeled and diced into small cubes

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken and season generously with salt and pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside on a plate.

    Cook the Aromatics: In the same pot, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions become translucent and fragrant. This step builds a flavorful base for your soup.

      Build the Base: Carefully stir in the diced potato and corn kernels, followed by the dried thyme and smoked paprika. Pour in the chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

        Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and return the browned chicken to the pot. Cover and let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potato cubes are tender when pierced with a fork.

          Add Cream: After the potatoes have softened, stir in the heavy cream. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired.

            Blend for Extra Creaminess (optional): For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer a portion to a countertop blender, blend until creamy, and return it to the pot. This will give your soup a velvety finish.

              Serve: Ladle the creamy soup into bowls, ensuring each serving has an equal amount of chicken and corn. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness. Enjoy the warmth and comfort of your Creamy Chicken and Corn Delight!
