Creating Marry Me Chicken Soup can be a fun kitchen adventure if you follow these steps:

1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in minced garlic, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Cook the Chicken: Add chicken breasts to the pot and pour in chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked.
4. Remove Chicken and Shred: Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the pot. Allow them to cool slightly, then shred them using two forks.
5. Add Heavy Cream: Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir in heavy cream. Let it cook on low heat for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the soup and adjust salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer a thicker soup, let it simmer uncovered for a few more minutes.
7. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

By following these steps, you’ll create an incredible bowl of Marry Me Chicken Soup that is sure to impress!
