Ingredients:
- 1 whole chicken (3-4 lbs)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh tarragon
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and cook until they are softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
4. Remove the chicken from the oven and rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
5. In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, onions, garlic, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
6. Once the broth has come to a boil, add the chicken to the pot, breast-side up. Reduce the heat to low and let the chicken simmer in the broth for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until it is fully cooked through.
7. Remove the chicken from the pot and strain the broth into a separate container. Discard the onions, garlic, and thyme.
8. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it is softened and lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
9. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
10. Pour in the strained broth from the previous step and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer for about 30 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly.
11. In a blender or food processor, puree the chicken until it is smooth and creamy.
12. Add the pureed chicken to the pot with the broth and stir well to combine.
13. Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently to combine. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the soup has thickened and heated through.
