Sauté Aromatics

  • Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add Vegetables

  • Stir in diced carrots and celery, cook for an additional 5 minutes until slightly softened.

Cook Chicken

  • Add chicken breast pieces to the pot, season with dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Simmer Soup

  • Pour in chicken broth and water, bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Incorporate Arugula

  • Stir in fresh arugula, allowing it to wilt into the soup. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until arugula is tender.

Serve And Enjoy

  • Ladle the hot Chicken Arugula Soup into bowls. Garnish with additional fresh arugula if desired. Serve piping hot and savor the comforting flavors.
