2 Tbsp unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 large potato, peeled and cubed
1/3 cup frozen peas
1/3 cup frozen corn kernels
1 tsp dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp dried marjoram
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup half-and-half
Step 1
In a large soup pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the flour and cook for another 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and add the cooked chicken, cubed potato, peas, corn, parsley, marjoram, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, approximately 25 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the half-and-half and simmer until heated through for about 3 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes to thicken before serving.
