Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 ribs celery, diced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 2 medium yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- In a large stockpot or 4 quart Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat until it starts to bubble, about 1 minute. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add flour and stir well until thickened into a paste, about 1 minute.
- Slowly add in chicken stock and potatoes. Mix well until smooth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add chicken, corn, peas, heavy cream, and parsley. Stir well until evenly combined and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve warm with biscuits, if desired. Some of our favorites are Homemade Biscuits, Garlic Cheddar Biscuits, or Cornmeal Cheddar Biscuits.
Notes
How to store: Transfer leftover chicken soup to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
How to reheat: Reheat leftover chicken soup on the stovetop on medium-low heat until warmed through or in the microwave in 30 second increments until warm. You can also reheat straight from frozen in a crockpot after thawing it just enough to release it from the container.
How to freeze: After the soup has cooled completely to room temperature, portion it into freezer-safe containers or freezer bags for easy thawing. Leave some room for the soup to expand. You can freeze chicken soup for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
