Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pour the chicken stock into a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the butter and/or olive oil to the stock if desired, stirring until melted and combined.
  3. Add the chopped broccoli to the saucepan.
  4. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the broccoli is tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  6. For a thicker soup, use an immersion blender to puree the broccoli and stock directly in the pot, or transfer half the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth before returning it to the pot. Leave as-is for a clear broth.
  7. Stir in the diced skinless chicken breast.
  8. Heat gently for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is warmed through.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
  10. Ladle into bowls and serve immediately.
