CHICKEN POTATO CHOWDER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large stock pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Add garlic and rosemary, sauté until fragrant (about 2 minutes).
• Sear chicken breasts in oil just until browned on each side.
• Place chicken breasts in oven, bake about 30 minutes, until no longer pink in the middle. While the chicken is cooking, finish the rest of the soup.
• Add celery and onion to pot, sauté until just softened, 6-8 minutes.
• Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
• Add chopped potatoes, cover. Maintain a low boil until potatoes are soft.
• When chicken is done, remove from oven, let cool slightly then shred or chop.
• Remove 2 cups of soup from pot and purée in a food processor, then return to pot. This will thicken the soup.
• Add shredded chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• The soup can stay on the stove over low heat until ready to serve but the potatoes will continue to soften.
