Ingredients
For this recipe, you’ll need:
Soup Base:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Liquids and Chicken:
- 4 cups chicken broth (homemade or store-bought)
- 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
Vegetables:
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn (optional)
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
Optional Garnishes:
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Flaky biscuit or pie crust pieces
- Grated cheese
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Base
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, until vegetables are softened and fragrant.
Step 2: Make the Roux
- Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables.
- Stir constantly for 2–3 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste. This creates a roux, which will thicken your soup and give it a creamy texture.
Step 3: Add Liquids
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps.
- Stir in the milk or cream, ensuring everything is fully combined.
