Creamy Chicken Sweet Potato Soup

Heat a Dutch oven or medium pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat bottom. Add chicken and onion, season with salt and pepper, and sauté several minutes until chicken is cooked through and onions are tender. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

Melt butter in same pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant. Whisk in flour and let cook 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Slowly begin adding milk, whisking constantly until incorporated.

Add heavy cream, chicken broth, sweet potatoes, thyme, and chicken/onion mixture. Bring soup to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and allow to simmer 8-10 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender.

Add spinach or kale to soup and stir well until wilted. Season soup with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm with crusty bread. Enjoy!
