If you’re looking for the best creamy chicken soup you’ll ever make-you’ve come to the right place. When someone says “this is the best _____ I’ve ever had!” it becomes an absolute must try for me. That’s how this Icelandic chicken soup was born (I saw a TikTok and was sold). If you’d like to follow along a video tutorial, you can find that here.

Although it does have a few steps the good news is that it’s very easy to make!

Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 4 tbsp oil, separated into 2
• 2 red bell peppers, cut in half
• 1 onion, cut into chunks
• 10-15 garlic cloves

3. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan and fry chicken until cooked through
4. Remove chicken from pan, shred, and set aside
5. Place bell peppers, tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves in a tray. drizzle with oil and season with salt and seasoning
6. Roast for 40 minutes or until vegetables are tender and develop color. You can broil a few minutes at the end to add more flavor
