- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about five minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until golden brown.
- Add chicken thighs to the pot and season generously with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Cook each side for about four minutes until beautifully browned.
