Ingredients List
For the Soup Base
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 5 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a lighter option)
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for thickening)
Instructions
1. Cook the vegetables
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened.
Add the minced garlic, diced carrots, peas, and corn. Stir and cook for another 3–5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
2. Create the roux
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for about 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. This will help thicken the soup.
3. Add the broth and cream
Slowly add chicken broth, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Once combined, pour in the heavy cream and stir until the soup thickens slightly. Bring the mixture to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
4. Add chicken and seasonings
Add the shredded chicken to the pot along with dried thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and let the soup simmer for another 10–15 minutes to ensure it’s heated through and all flavors have melded together.
5. Adjust seasoning
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
6. Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with extra parsley or thyme if desired. Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side.
