Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion (1 cup, chopped)
- 2 medium carrots (thinly sliced into rings)
- 2 celery sticks (finely chopped)
- 8 oz white or brown mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 3–4 teaspoons salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and sliced into ¼-inch thick pieces)
- 5 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
- ½ cup whipping cream
- ¼ cup parsley (finely chopped, plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Add the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine, creating a roux. Cook for 2 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the butter and develop flavor.
- Slowly pour in the chicken stock, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the sliced potatoes, shredded chicken, salt, pepper, peas, and corn. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened.
- Stir in the whipping cream and chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve the soup hot, garnished with more parsley.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, you can use gluten-free all-purpose flour or cornstarch to thicken the soup.
- This soup can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving.
- For extra richness, you can add a little extra cream or a dollop of sour cream before serving.
