Method
Preparation
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- Once potatoes are tender, add cooked chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through.
- Stir in milk, heavy cream, and fresh parsley. Heat through without boiling. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or thyme.
- 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.
