1 lb cooked chicken, shredded
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup carrots, diced
½ cup celery, diced
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Prepare your ingredients: Start by peeling and dicing your potatoes, carrots, and celery. Shred the cooked chicken if you haven’t done so yet.
Cook the vegetables: In a large pot, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced celery and carrots, cooking until softened (about 5 minutes).
Add the potatoes: Incorporate the diced potatoes and chicken broth into the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Mix in the chicken: After the potatoes are cooked, stir in the shredded chicken. Allow to heat through for about 5 minutes.
Create the creamy base: Stir in the heavy cream, mixing well. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve and enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy your cozy meal!
