Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium potato, diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 refrigerated biscuit dough (for topping, optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Slow Cooker: Add the chicken, chicken broth, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, potato, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Cook the Chicken: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
- Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the slow cooker.
- Thicken the Soup: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and milk until smooth. Add this mixture to the slow cooker and stir well.
- Add Final Ingredients: Stir in the frozen peas and corn. Let the soup cook for another 15-20 minutes until thickened.
- Prepare Biscuit Topping (Optional): Bake the refrigerated biscuit dough according to package instructions and serve on the side or crumbled on top.
- Serve & Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a warm biscuit if desired.
Notes
- For extra richness, use half-and-half instead of whole milk.
- You can swap the chicken breasts for rotisserie chicken; just add it during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker soup, mash some of the potatoes or add more flour.
- To make it gluten-free, use cornstarch instead of flour and serve with gluten-free biscuits
