- 2 tbs butter
- 1 small yellow onion diced
- 2 ribs celery chopped
- 2 medium carrots peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 2 tbs all purpose flour
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes 3 medium, cubed - about 1 inch pieces
- 32 oz low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups cooked chicken
In a large Dutch oven or large pot, cook onion, celery and carrots in melted butter over medium heat until onions are slightly soft. Add a pinch of salt to help sweat the veggies, if desired
Add the minced garlic, sea salt, thyme, parsley and pepper, and cook for about a minute or until fragrant.
Sprinkle flour over veggies, and stir to coat. Keep stirring and cook for 1 minute
Add the potatoes and chicken broth, and stir everything together. Cover, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat
Remove lid, reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream and cooked chicken, and allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until potatoes and carrots are fork tender
Garnish with fresh parsley and thyme if desired
Sub chicken breasts or thighs for cooked chicken, and cook along with chicken broth. Remove once fully cooked to 165 degrees, cut up, and return to pot with the heavy cream.
Can use whole milk, 2 percent milk or half in half in place of cream. Can use garlic powder and garlic powder in place of fresh.
