Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped (1 cup)
- 2 medium carrots thinly sliced into rings
- 2 celery sticks finely chopped
- 8 ounces white or brown mushrooms sliced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 3-4 teaspoons salt or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
- 5 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup corn frozen or canned
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Heat a Dutch oven or large soup pot over medium-high heat and melt 6 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped onion, celery, and sliced carrots, then sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened and lightly golden.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic, cooking for another 5 minutes until softened.
- Sprinkle in 1/3 cup of flour and stir continuously for 1 minute until lightly golden.
- Pour in 6 cups of chicken stock, add the sliced potatoes, 3 1/2 teaspoons of salt (or to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Partially cover and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are just tender.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, and corn, followed by 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1/4 cup of parsley. Bring the soup back to a gentle simmer and cook for another 5 minutes until the peas and corn are tender. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, then remove from heat.
