Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup finely diced carrots
  • 1/2 cup finely diced celery
  • 1/2 cup finely diced onion
  • 1/2 cup finely diced potatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add diced carrots, celery, onion, and potatoes. Cook for 5–7 minutes until they begin to soften.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine well.
  4. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and whole milk.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly.
  9. Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • Add shredded rotisserie chicken for a heartier soup.
  • For a hint of spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika.
  • Use an immersion blender for a smoother texture if desired.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat gently with added milk or broth if thickened.
  • Not recommended for freezing due to the cream-based texture.
