Ingredients
Method
- Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots and celery and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, until softened and lightly golden.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 2 minutes to form a roux. This is what thickens the soup.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking as you go to avoid lumps. Add the potatoes, thyme and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, peas and corn. Simmer for 5 minutes more to heat everything through.
- Pour in the heavy cream and simmer on low for 2 to 3 minutes until creamy and slightly thickened. Don't let it boil once the cream is in. Remove the bay leaves, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot with chopped parsley on top.
