Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced chicken thighs, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes until cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same pot, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add chopped onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic powder and thyme, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning, until the flour is lightly golden.
Cooking
  1. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form from the flour. Add potatoes and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  2. Once potatoes are tender, add cooked chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through.
  3. Stir in milk, heavy cream, and fresh parsley. Heat through without boiling. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or thyme.
  4. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crusty bread or biscuits.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. For a lighter version, substitute half the heavy cream with unsweetened almond milk.
