Chicken Potato Soup
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 1 medium celery finely chopped
- 3 medium carrots sliced
- 8 oz mushrooms sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 3-4 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes peeled and sliced
- 5 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup corn frozen or canned
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, celery, and sliced carrots. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly golden.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the pot. Continue sautéing for another 5 minutes, until the mushrooms have softened and released their moisture.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute, allowing the flour to cook until it turns golden.
- Pour in the chicken stock and add the sliced potatoes, 3 1/2 teaspoons salt (or to taste), and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Partially cover and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add the shredded chicken, frozen peas, frozen corn, heavy whipping cream, and chopped parsley. Stir well and bring the soup back to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the peas and corn are tender.
- Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
