  • 1 tbsp butter Preferably unsalted
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, sliced into coins
  • 2 large celery sticks, sliced About ½ cup
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • ⅓ cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour Gluten-free flour if needed
For the Liquid and Flavoring
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk Skim, 2%, or whole
  • 1 ½ cups sweet potatoes, cut into small cubes Or Yukon potatoes
  • 1 tsp salt Plus more to taste
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper Plus more to taste
  • 1-2 tbsp fresh thyme Or 1 tsp dried thyme
For the Chicken and Greens
  • 3-4 cups cooked shredded chicken Using rotisserie chicken is recommended
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

Method
 

Preparing the Vegetables
  1. In a large Dutch oven or pot, heat butter over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery, cooking for 6-8 minutes until soft and wilted.
  2. Add minced garlic to the pot for the last 30 seconds of cooking and stir to combine.
Building the Base
  1. Sprinkle the flour over the veggies, mixing until everything is coated. Let it cook for 1 minute to eliminate raw flour taste.
  2. Pour in the chicken stock and milk, then add the sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir well, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender. Remember to stir every 4 minutes to prevent sticking.
Final Steps
  1. Stir in the cooked shredded chicken, frozen peas, parsley, and optional baby spinach. Let everything simmer for another 5 minutes.
  2. Taste and adjust seasonings to your preference before removing from heat.
Serving Suggestion
  1. Serve warm with homemade biscuits, garlic bread, or a slice of buttery toasted bread.
