Onion.
Carrot.
Celery.
Fresh garlic cloves.
Herbs/spices: Bay leaf, dried mixed herbs, oregano, thyme, chilli flakes. You can use any fresh or dried herbs of your choice.
Salt and black pepper.
Broccoli. I used fresh broccoli but you could use frozen broccoli too.
Chicken stock/chicken broth. Chicken bone broth is an excellent addition that will add even more goodness to the soup.
Milk. The milk adds creaminess but is completely optional. Substitute with plant-based milk or stock. You could also use heavy cream if you wanted a richer soup.
Cornstarch. I used a slurry of cornstarch and milk/stock to thicken the soup slightly but again, this step is optional. Flour can be used instead. If you want to keep this recipe keto or low carb, omit the flour or cornstarch and blend a quarter of the soup in a blender and add back to the soup to thicken it slightly.
Chicken. I used shredded rotisserie chicken but leftover roast chicken is also a good idea. Alternatively, poach chicken breasts in the soup until cooked through and shred.
