Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, sliced

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons 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 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1/2 cup half-and-half

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes.

  2. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in chicken broth; add chicken, potato, peas, corn, parsley, marjoram, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring pot to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes.

  3. Stir in half-and-half and simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove pot from heat and let sit for 10 minutes to thicken.

    Cook’s Note

    The longer the soup sits off of the heat, the thicker it gets. At 10 minutes, it is the consistency I like, but let it sit longer if you prefer a thicker soup.
