Add the diced potato to the pot, along with the bay leaf, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt. Pour in chicken broth, then bring the mixture to a boil. Add in chicken breast and reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and chicken is cooked.

Blend Soup

‍
Remove the chicken and bay leaf and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, blend only part of the soup and leave some potato chunks. Shred your chicken and add back into pot.

Season and Serve

Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste if needed. If the soup is too thick, adjust the consistency by adding more water or vegetable broth as needed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chives if desired.
