Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 4 cups Chicken broth
- 2 cups Cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
- 2 cups Sweet corn kernels (frozen, fresh, or canned)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the shredded or cubed cooked chicken and the corn kernels to the pot. Stir to combine.
Season the soup with salt and ground black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes creamy.
Once the soup is warmed through and reaches your desired consistency, remove it from heat.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers, if desired.
