Chicken Pot Soup (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 4 tbsp salted butter.
02 - 1 cup finely chopped carrots.
03 - 1 cup diced celery.
04 - 1 cup chopped onion.
05 - 2 garlic cloves, finely minced.
06 - 1/4 cup plain flour.
07 - 4 cups chicken broth.
08 - 1 1/2 cups diced Yukon potatoes.
09 - 1 dried bay leaf.
10 - 1/2 tsp thyme (dried).
11 - 1/2 tsp ground black pepper.
12 - 2 cups cooked, diced chicken.
13 - 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream.
14 - 1 cup peas (frozen).
15 - 1/2 cup frozen corn.
16 - Warm biscuits for the side.
17 - Chopped parsley for garnish.

# Instructions:

01 - Over medium heat, melt the butter in a dutch oven. Toss in the onion, carrots, and celery. Stir occasionally, cooking until softened and slightly golden—takes about 10 minutes.
02 - Toss in the minced garlic and stir for around 30 seconds, just until it smells amazing.
03 - Sprinkle in the flour and mix well. Let it cook for about 1 minute while stirring constantly.
04 - Pour in the chicken broth, toss in potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, and black pepper. Increase heat until it’s boiling, then lower to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft.
05 - Add your diced chicken, frozen peas, corn, and cream. Let it heat on low for another 5 minutes. Don’t forget to take out the bay leaf before enjoying!
06 - Scoop the soup into bowls. Add a sprinkle of parsley on top if you’d like. Serve with warm biscuits for dipping on the side.

# Notes:

01 - You can swap the cream for milk or half-and-half.
02 - Keeps great in the freezer for future meals.
