Equipment

Large soup pot or Dutch oven
Wooden spoon or whisk
Measuring cups and spoons
Ladle

Ingredients

3 Tbsp light butter, divided
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
1 onion, diced
4 celery stalks, finely chopped
1 cup carrots, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2.5 cups Yukon or gold potatoes, chopped into ½-inch pieces
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
2.5 tsp chicken bouillon
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup parsley, finely chopped
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1 Tbsp fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp dried)
1/4 tsp dried sage
1 bay leaf
2 cups fat-free half and half or unsweetened almond milk
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 cup frozen peas (not thawed)

Instructions

Melt 1 Tbsp of butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 3 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for another minute.
Add remaining 2 Tbsp of butter, then whisk in flour. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.
Slowly pour in chicken broth while whisking. Stir until smooth. Add potatoes, bouillon, salt, pepper, parsley, oregano, basil, thyme, sage, and bay leaf.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
Add cooked chicken and let simmer for 5 more minutes to heat through.
Whisk cornstarch with milk or half & half until smooth. Stir into the soup to thicken.
Add frozen peas. Simmer another 5–8 minutes until soup thickens. Discard bay leaf before serving.

Notes

Soup will continue to thicken as it cools—great for leftovers. Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, and customize with corn, green beans, or even mushrooms. For extra richness, stir in a splash of cream at the end.
