Description

A hearty and comforting chicken potato soup recipe packed with tender chicken, creamy potatoes, and fresh herbs, perfect for a cozy homemade meal.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked and shredded chicken breast or thighs
3 large Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
2 chopped carrots
2 diced celery stalks
1 medium diced onion
3 minced garlic cloves
6 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme or parsley


Instructions

Chop all vegetables and shred the cooked chicken.
Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and done, then remove and shred if not already shredded.
In the same pot, sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and stir for 1 more minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle boil.
Add diced potatoes and simmer for 15–20 minutes until tender.
Return shredded chicken to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs.
Simmer for another 5–10 minutes on low heat to let the flavors combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving.

Notes

For a thicker soup, mash a few potatoes directly in the pot.
Substitute coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
Leftover roasted chicken adds an even deeper flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
