Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: 1 cup diced potatoes (for added heartiness)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.

    Add the Corn and Optional Potatoes: Stir in the corn kernels and, if using, the diced potatoes. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, allowing the corn to caramelize slightly and the potatoes to begin softening.

      Pour in Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and add the dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

        Incorporate the Chicken: Add the shredded chicken to the soup and stir well. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

          Make it Creamy: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to warm through, ensuring it doesn’t boil again, to keep the cream from curdling. Adjust seasoning to taste.

            Serve: Ladle the creamy chicken and corn soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of brightness. Serve with crusty bread or crackers if desired.
