• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 1 medium tomato, diced
• 4 cups chicken broth (or water)
• Salt, to taste

Step-by-step Instructions:

Initial Preparation:

1. Wash and chop the vegetables:

   • Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes.
   • Trim the ends of the green beans and wash the zucchini.
   • Chop the leek (only the white part) and set it aside.
2. Prepare the chicken:
   • Clean the chicken breasts, trimming off any excess fat, and set aside for later.

Making the Soup:

1. Chop the vegetables:

   • Place the chopped leek, carrots, potatoes, and zucchini in the Thermomix bowl.
   • Blend for 5 seconds at speed 5.

2. Sauté to enhance flavors:

   • Add the olive oil and sauté for 7 minutes at 100°C, speed 2.
3. Add the green beans:
   • Stir in the green beans and blend for 5 seconds at speed 4.
   • Add the diced tomato, chicken broth, and salt. Cook for 12 minutes at Varoma temperature, speed 2.

Cooking the Chicken:

1. Cook the chicken:
   • Place the whole chicken breasts into the bowl with the vegetables.
   • Set the Thermomix to cook for 12 minutes at Varoma temperature, speed 1.

Finishing the Soup:

1. Blend for a perfect texture:
   • After the timer goes off, let the mixture cool for a couple of minutes before blending.
   • Blend for 1 minute at speed 10 until the soup is smooth and creamy.

Tips for Success:

• Ideal consistency: If you prefer a thinner soup, feel free to add more water or broth before blending and adjust the salt as needed.
• Gourmet presentation: Serve your soup with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, freshly cracked black pepper, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
• Healthy substitutions: For a vegan version, swap the chicken for tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
• Perfect accompaniments: This creamy soup pairs wonderfully with homemade croutons, whole-grain bread, or even toasted pumpkin seeds for an extra crunch.

With this delightful Creamy Vegetable and Chicken Soup, you’re all set for a cozy meal that everyone will love. So, gather your ingredients and let the Thermomix work its magic—enjoy every spoonful!
