Scale
- 1 large red onion
- 1 Tablespoon cooking oil ( I use avocado oil.)
- 4 large pre-cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts (around 3 lbs)
- 3 lbs of russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1″ cubes
- 1 lb carrots, sliced into 1/8″ thick rounds
- 1 qt (4 cups) chicken stock
- 3 cups dairy milk, almond milk or other alternative dairy milk
- 1–2 Tablespoons homemade Chicken Bouillon Powder (or your favorite gluten-free bouillon), to taste
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 2 cups frozen peas (or frozen green beans if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 Tablespoons arrowroot powder (or corn starch)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Peel potatoes and cut into 1″ cubes.
- Slice the carrots into 1/8″ rounds.
- Shred or chop pre-cooked chicken.
- Mince the onion and saute it in the cooking oil, in a deep stock pot, for 3 or 4 minutes until it begins to soften and be aromatic.
- Add in the cubed potatoes and carrots.
- Pour the chicken stock and the milk (or almond milk or dairy alternative milk) into the pan over the vegetables.
- Stir in the homemade chicken bouillon, minced garlic, bay leaves and poultry seasoning.
- Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce to medium heat. You may want to stir occasionally as the pot comes to a boil to make sure nothing is sticking.
- Allow the mixture to cook over medium heat until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Whisk the arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) into the 1/2 cup of cold water. Pour the slurry into the soup pot and stir to combine.
- Add the pre-cooked chicken and stir.
- The soup will begin to thicken in just a minute or two.
- Shut off the heat and stir in the frozen peas. The heat of the soup will be enough to warm them and they will retain their bright green color.
- Taste the finished soup one last time and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve with biscuits, puff pastry sticks or even a green salad on the side.
