Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Sauté Aromatics: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Then stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute to release its aroma.
- Make Roux: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour into the pot, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste and form a roux. This will help to thicken the soup.
- Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth followed by the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
- Add Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, diced potatoes, and dried thyme. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and let it simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Season: Taste the soup and add salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the comforting flavors.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken for convenience.
- Feel free to swap the frozen mixed vegetables with fresh or other your preferred vegetables.
- For a richer soup, use whole milk or add a splash of heavy cream before serving.
- Make sure to stir continuously while adding the flour and liquids to avoid lumps.
- This soup can be reheated and often tastes better the next day as the flavors meld.
