Instructions

Spray the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Put the chicken breasts, carrot, celery, onion, zucchini, corn, tomatoes, garlic, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and broth in the slow cooker. Mix the ingredients together.
Cover and cook for 7 hours on Low or for 4 hours on High.
Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred, return to the slow cooker, and stir to incorporate.
Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed. Ladle into bowls and serve, garnished with the basil.

Notes

This soup can be prepared on the stovetop instead of in the slow cooker:
In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the carrot, celery, onion, and garlic and sauté for 4–5 minutes.
Add the zucchini and corn and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, garlic, thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and broth. Stir to mix. Add the chicken to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until the chicken is tender and fully cooked,
1–1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken from the pot, shred, and return to the pot. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if needed.
