A comfort food classic reimagined as a soul-soothing bowl of goodness, combining tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and creamy broth for a warm and hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups whole milk or heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast or rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Crusty bread or puff pastry squares (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 2 minutes to create a roux. It should look like a thick paste.
  4. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken.
  5. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the milk or cream, fresh thyme, and nutmeg. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Fold in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Cook for 3-5 minutes until heated through.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thick, add a splash of chicken broth to adjust the consistency.
  9. Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread or puff pastry squares on the side.

Notes

Don’t skip the roux step for a creamy texture. Rotisserie chicken works great for convenience. Customize vegetables based on seasonality.
