Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and fennel and cook for 5 minutes until they soften.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the homemade chicken broth, then add the shredded chicken, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add the chopped escarole and simmer for 3 more minutes until it wilts.
Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with grated Parmesan and fresh parsley.

Add the escarole right at the end so it stays bright green and keeps a bit of texture. If you prefer a milder flavor, use the inner leaves of the fennel bulb. Leftovers store well in the fridge for two days and reheat gently on the stove without losing much quality.Course: Soup
