Creamy Chicken Soup with Vegetables

A comforting and creamy chicken soup loaded with tender chicken, fresh vegetables, and a rich broth, perfect for a hearty meal any day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add carrots and celery; cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Add shredded chicken, peas, and thyme. Simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and cook for 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For extra richness, use homemade chicken broth. You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version. Adding fresh herbs like thyme and parsley enhances the flavor.
