6 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
2 celery sticks, finely chopped
8 oz white or brown mushrooms, sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken stock
3–4 tsp salt (to taste)
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
5 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup corn (frozen or canned, drained)
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped (plus more for garnish)
Heat a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Melt the butter.
Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
Stir in sliced mushrooms and minced garlic.
Cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms soften.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables.
Stir constantly for 1 minute, cooking out the raw flour taste and forming a thick paste.
Pour in the chicken stock.
Add potatoes, salt, and black pepper.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Cover partially and cook 12–15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
Stir in shredded chicken, peas, corn, heavy cream, and parsley.
Simmer 5 more minutes, until vegetables are tender and soup is creamy.
Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle into bowls, garnish with extra parsley, and enjoy warm!
Use rotisserie chicken to save time and add extra flavor.
Don’t overcook the potatoes—they should be tender but not falling apart.
For a thicker soup, simmer a few extra minutes or add 1–2 more tablespoons of flour during the roux step.
Add fresh thyme or rosemary if you want a more herb-forward flavor.
For a fun twist, serve with buttery biscuits or puff pastry squares on top!
