On a blustery day, this rich and creamy soup soothes the soul...trust me!
Creamy Chicken Soup~
3 Tb butter
1 medium onion - chopped
1 large clove garlic - pressed
3 Tb flour
5 cups chicken broth - I use the brand - Better Than Bouillon
3 stalks celery - chopped
2 carrots peeled - chopped
1/4 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped - or dried
1/8 tsp sage - I used powdered - if using dried leaves use a little more
1 1/4 cups half & half
3 cup shredded chicken - rotisserie is my fav for this one!
3/4 t dried parsley or 1 1/2 tsp freshly chopped
salt and pepper to taste
noodles if desired - I put them in if I'm in the mood - you really don't miss them!
In your favorite soup pot add the butter and onion over medium heat, saute for 4 min. - add garlic and cook another minute. Stir in flour to create a paste like texture. Slowly stir in chicken broth until mixture is well combined. Add celery, carrots and herbs - bring to a low boil and cook until veggies are soft - about 10 min.
Turn down heat to low and stir in half & half and chicken. Enjoy!

This just won the award for BESTEST soup of the season. Congradulations! All four girls drank it up for dinner (along with some cornbread, which Dave called cake, we love T.J. mixes!)
Thanks for staying on top of your recipes, Zanadoo
and no...T.J. does not stand for Tijuana, we do not do our grocery shopping in Meheco.
