Ingredients
- 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ medium onion (diced)
- 2 celery ribs (diced)
- 2 medium carrots (diced)
- ¼ cup dry white apple vinegar
- 1 large russet potato (diced)
- 3 to 4 cups chicken broth
- 5 tablespoons butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by patting dry and seasoning with salt and pepper. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat and brown the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
- Sauté garlic, onion, celery, and carrots in the same pot with remaining olive oil until softened.
- Stir in white apple vinegar and scrape any bits from the bottom of the pot. Add diced potatoes and broth; bring to simmer.
- Cut chicken into halves, return to pot, and cook until done and potatoes are fork-tender (15 to 20 minutes). Remove chicken; let cool before chopping.
- In a separate pot, melt butter and whisk in flour until golden. Slowly add milk and cream while whisking until thickened.
- Combine creamy mixture with soup base; add back chopped chicken.
- Stir in corn and peas if desired; heat through, adjusting thickness with broth as needed. Season with salt and pepper.
