There is nothing quite like a steaming bowl of creamy chicken and potato soup on a chilly day. It is one of those simple meals that feels like a hug in a bowl, combining tender chicken with hearty potatoes in a rich broth.

My favorite thing about this recipe is how easy it is to throw together on a weeknight. If you want a little extra flavor, try sautéing your onions and celery in a bit of butter until they are soft before adding your liquids.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
3 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
2
Add the onion and celery to the pot and cook until they are soft and translucent.
3
Stir in the flour and cook for one minute to get rid of the raw flour taste.
4
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to keep everything smooth.
5
Add the cubed potatoes and dried thyme, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
6
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
7
Stir in the shredded chicken and the heavy cream, then cook until the soup is heated through.
8
Season with salt and pepper to your liking and serve warm.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. This soup tastes even better the next day once the flavors have had time to meld together. You can serve it with a side of crusty bread for dipping.
