Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering and prepping all your ingredients. Cut your pumpkin, carrots, onion, and garlic to speed up the cooking process.
  2. Boil the Chicken: In a medium pot, place the chicken breasts, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20-25 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from heat, shred the chicken, and set aside.
  3. Sauté Your Aromatics: In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, then sauté for about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Cook the Vegetables: Add the chopped pumpkin and carrots to the pot. Stir well to coat them in the aromatics. Allow them to sauté for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the Liquids: Pour in 6 cups of water or stock and bring it to a gentle boil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the tomato paste.
  6. Simmer Away! Lower the heat to a simmer and add the thyme and parsley. Let the soup simmer for about 20-25 minutes.
  7. Blend It Up: Once your veggies are soft, blend until silky smooth.
  8. Finish with Spinach and Cream: Stir in the chopped spinach and the heavy cream.
  9. Add the Shredded Chicken: Fold in the shredded chicken to warm it through.
  10. Final Touch: Drizzle with a little olive oil before serving.
