Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3/4 cup frozen peas
  • 3/4 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Proteins and Dairy

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Pantry Items

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Sauté Vegetables: Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, and mushrooms. Sauté for 7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute to release its aroma.
  3. Create Roux: Sprinkle in all-purpose flour and stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is well blended and turns golden, which will help thicken the soup.
  4. Add Broth and Potatoes: Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the peeled and cubed Yukon gold potatoes. Bring to a simmer uncovered and cook for about 12 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Incorporate Chicken and Veggies: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, frozen peas, frozen corn, and heavy cream. Continue simmering for 5 more minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
  6. Season and Serve: Add fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve the soup hot for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • For best results, use cooked chicken such as rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken.
  • Yukon gold potatoes are preferred for their creamy texture, but you can substitute with red or red-skinned potatoes if needed.
  • This soup can be made in advance and reheated; it thickens upon standing so you may wish to add a little extra broth when reheating.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, though the soup may be less rich.
  • Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
