Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks chopped
  • 4 –6 ounces mushrooms sliced (adjust to preference)
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes cut into small pieces
  • 5 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons dried parsley [or ~1/4 cup fresh chopped]
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the vegetables. Dice the onion, carrots and mushrooms, chop the celery, and cut the potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces.
  • Build the soup base. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for approximately 5–7 minutes, until they begin to soften.
  • Add the mushrooms and garlic. Continue cooking for another few minutes, allowing the mushrooms to soften and release some of their moisture.
  • Thicken the soup. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until everything is coated. Cook briefly to remove the raw flour taste.
  • Add the stock and potatoes. Slowly pour in the chicken stock while stirring. Add the potatoes and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 12–15 minutes.
  • Finish the soup. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken, peas, corn, cream, and parsley. Simmer gently for approximately 5 minutes, until everything is heated through.
  • Taste and serve. Adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve warm with biscuits, crusty bread, or my favorite - puff pastry!

Notes

Little Bit Busy Tip: Rotisserie chicken is already seasoned, and store-bought chicken stock can contain quite a bit of sodium. Start with less salt and adjust after the soup has finished cooking.
