Traditional Chicken Cream Soup:

Let's start with a traditional cream of chicken soup recipe

1        Components:

•  One entire chicken or two boneless, skinless breasts
• Quarts of chicken stock
• 1 cup of thick cream
• Twice as much unsalted butter
• One medium onion cut finely
• two minced garlic cloves
• Two chopped and peeled carrots
• two chopped celery stalks
• One cup of sliced mushrooms, if desired
• 1/4 cup flour for all purposes
• Add pepper and salt to taste.
• Chop some fresh parsley for garnish.

2      instructions  

• Start with preparing the chicken. Should you choose to use skinless, boneless breasts? you can choose to cook it in a skillet with oil until the centre is no longer pink. or you cook chicken in a big pot of water until it's cooked, then shred the meat after removing it from the bones.

• Melt the butter in a big pot over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion and simmer for 3–4 minutes, or until it becomes transparent. Add the garlic and heat for a further one minute.

• To the pot, add the chopped celery, carrots, and mushrooms (if using). After about five minutes, or until the vegetables soften, sauté    
• 
  
• To make a roux, sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and mix. Cook, stirring, for a few minutes to prevent lumps.

• Stirring to mix it into the roux, pour in the chicken broth. The mixture should boil for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how tender you like your vegetables.

• Pour the heavy cream into the pot along with the cooked and shredded chicken. Be careful not to bring the soup to a boil again after cooking it.

• To taste, adjust the amount of salt and pepper added to the soup. For extra flavour, you can also add a pinch of dried or fresh thyme.

• Spoon the soup into bowls, top with fresh chopped parsley, and serve warm. Savour the traditional cream of chicken soup!
