Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large stock pot or Dutch oven. Add the onion, celery and carrots. Sauté for approximately 4-5 minutes over low/medium heat until they begin to soften. Add the garlic and cook another 30 seconds.
- Add the flour and stir and combine. Continue cooking and stirring for 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly add the chicken stock and whisk to break up any lumps. Add the salt, pepper and bay leaf.
- Next add the potatoes and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender.
- Add the frozen peas and corn. Bring back to a simmer then the half and half and finally the cooked shredded chicken.
- Cook another 10 minutes or until the soup is hot and the chicken is heated through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley.
DEBI’s TIPS:
- To make this even faster, omit the fresh carrot and buy a frozen bag of mixed veggies
- Buy at store bought chicken and shred it instead of cooking your own.
- Add some oregano, thyme or basil to the recipe if you want a little more flavor.
