Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ medium onion, diced
- 2 celery ribs, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- ¼ cup dry white apple vinegar
- 1 large russet potato, diced
- 3 to 4 cups chicken broth
- 5 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups milk
- ½ cup heavy cream (or plant-based alternative)
- Optional: corn and peas
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large pot over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil and brown the chicken for about 3–4 minutes on each side. Remove from pot and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add another tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté minced garlic, diced onion, celery, and carrots until softened (about 5–8 minutes).
- Deglaze the pot with white apple vinegar to lift any browned bits.
- Add the diced potatoes and 3 cups of chicken broth; bring to a simmer. Return the chicken to the pot and cook until fully cooked (15–20 minutes).
- In a separate medium pot, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until golden; then slowly whisk in milk and cream until thickened.
- Stir the cream mixture into the soup along with shredded chicken, corn, and peas if using.
- Adjust thickness with additional broth as needed; season with salt and pepper before serving.
