Method
Preparation
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and cook until the veggies start to soften.
- Sprinkle in the flour and stir well to coat the vegetables to create a roux base.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the shredded chicken and season with herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Add the frozen peas and/or corn and let the mixture simmer until everything is heated through.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup gently simmer for a few more minutes before serving.
- Ladle into bowls and enjoy immediately, perhaps with a warm biscuit or crusty bread.
Notes
Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time. For a lighter version, swap heavy cream with half-and-half. If the soup is too thick, add more chicken broth or milk. Simmer gently to enhance flavors.
