Method
Preparation
- Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter and swirl until melted.
- Add the chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and begin to turn golden.
- Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 more minutes until mushrooms release their liquid and brown slightly.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables. Stir constantly for about 1 minute so the raw flour taste cooks out and the mixture turns pale golden.
- Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the sliced potatoes, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
- Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Partially cover and simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, corn, heavy cream, and chopped parsley. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until everything is heated through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot and garnish with more parsley.

Notes
For a lighter soup, reduce cream to 1/3 cup and finish with extra parsley. For extra depth, use a mix of chicken stock and a splash of low-sodium vegetable stock.
