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 onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Make Roux: Sprinkle the flour into the pot with the onions and garlic, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and form a roux.
- Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, stirring constantly 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 simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Season: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve immediately for a warm, comforting meal.
Notes
- Use cooked chicken from a rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken for convenience.
- Frozen mixed vegetables can be substituted with fresh vegetables, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
- If the soup is too thick, thin it out with extra chicken broth or milk.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute milk with unsweetened almond or oat milk.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
