Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Finely chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Shred leftover chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped carrots, celery, and onion. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic, stirring until fragrant for about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour in the broth and scrape any bits stuck to the pot. Increase heat and bring to a gentle boil, about 5 minutes.
