- In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat and sauté diced onions and garlic until soft and fragrant (3-5 minutes).
- Stir in the diced chicken and cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add potatoes, carrots, celery, and pour in the chicken broth, ensuring everything is submerged. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes
Skim off any foam during cooking for a clearer broth. For creamier soup, mash some potatoes directly in the soup.
