Chunky Creamy Chicken Soup is a hearty, comforting bowl filled with tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and a luxuriously creamy broth that warms you from the inside out.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breast, diced
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1½ cups diced potatoes
  • ½ cup chopped celery
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5–6 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stir to coat, and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then add potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  5. Add diced chicken, reduce heat, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender.
  6. Stir in peas, corn, and heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes until heated through.
  7. Remove from heat, let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time—add it with the cream step.
  • Do not boil the soup after adding cream to avoid curdling.
  • For a thicker soup, mash a few potato chunks before serving.
  • This soup tastes even better the next day.
