1poundYukon gold potatoes, sliced into ¼ inch pieces
5cupsCooked chicken, shredded
1cupFrozen peas
1cupCorn (frozen or canned)
½cupWhipping cream
¼cupFresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the vegetables soften and lightly brown.
Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes until the mushrooms are golden and the garlic becomes fragrant.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir constantly for about 1 minute to create a roux that coats the vegetables and thickens the soup.
Slowly pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the sliced potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Partially cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, corn, whipping cream, and chopped parsley. Simmer for another 5 minutes to blend the flavors and heat everything through.
Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
Notes
Use fresh herbs for a brighter flavor; store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for later meals.
Adjust soup consistency by adding more stock or water as needed.
