Ingredients
  

For the soup base
  • 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced
  • 2 sticks celery, finely chopped
  • 8 oz white or brown mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 3-4 tsp salt, or to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced
For the soup finishing touches
  • 5 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat a large Dutch oven or heavy soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the butter and swirl until melted.
  2. 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.
  3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for about 5 more minutes until mushrooms release their liquid and brown slightly.
  4. 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.
  5. Gradually pour in the chicken stock while stirring to avoid lumps. Add the sliced potatoes, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
  1. 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.
  2. Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, corn, heavy cream, and chopped parsley. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes, until everything is heated through.
  3. 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.
