leaving the brown bits on the bottom of the pan, add in your veggies and sauté until onions become soft. All of the brown bits on the bottom of the pan should come off, if not it will.
Once the veggies begin to soften add in your garlic and sauté for another minute. Add in 2 tbsp. of bisquick and stir top combine. It should create a thick coat on the veggies.
Next add in your stock and stir until the coating comes off the veggies. Add your chicken back into the broth. Add in your herbs, salt, and pepper and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove chicken breasts and shred, then add back to soup.
