Cream of chicken soup

5 months

A rich and flavorsome creamy chicken soup makes a fabulous lunch served with crispy bread. It is essential to use a really strong, homemade chicken stock for this recipe to give the soup a full flavor!

Ingredients: 


  • 50g (2 oz) butter
  • 2 onions, diced
  • 2 medium potatoes, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stick, diced
  • 750ml (1 1/4 pt) chicken stock
  • salt and ground black pepper
  • 25g (1 oz) plain flour
  • 150ml (1/4 pt) milk
  • 175g (6 oz) cooked chicken
  • 300ml (1/2 pt) single cream
  • parsley leaves to garnish (optional)

Directions:


  1. Melt the butter in a large pan and cook the onions, potatoes, carrot and celery gently for 5 minutes. Do not allow the vegetables to brown.
  2. Add the stock and simmer gently for 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Purée the soup in a food processor or blender until smooth and then return to the pan. Blend the flour with the milk and stir into the soup. Cook over a low heat, stirring, until the soup thickens.
  3. Meanwhile, chop the chicken finely. Add to the soup and heat through for 5 minutes. Add 4 to 5 tablespoons of the cream and simmer for 5 minutes more. Serve in individual bowls topped with a swirl of the remaining cream and garnish with ground black pepper and parsley leaves.
