- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cooked and chopped (leftover rotisserie is great here!)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped
- 3-4 sprigs thyme, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh sage, minced
- kosher salt and freshly ground cracked pepper
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour scant 1/4 cup
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and chopped
- 1 pint sliced shiitake mushrooms
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth OR 4 cups of water and 1 chicken bouillon
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (feel free to substitute light cream, half and half, or whole milk)
In a dutch oven, melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Allow these to sweat out for about 5 minutes. Add a pinch of salt, some fresh pepper, and the thyme and sage.Next, sprinkle the flour onto the veggies and whisk. If using bouillon, add that now.Allow the flour to cook for a minute our two, and then slowly whisk in the chicken broth. You want to whisk the water in slowly to eliminate any lumps.Once all the broth is whisked in, add your potato, chicken, and mushrooms and allow the soup to cook at a light simmer for about 30 minutes.When finished, add your heavy cream (optional!) and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with a side of puff pastry!
