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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the onion turns translucent and fragrant.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 5
Add the shredded or cubed cooked chicken and the corn kernels to the pot. Stir to combine.
Step 6
Season the soup with salt and ground black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once the soup is warmed through and reaches your desired consistency, remove it from heat.
Step 9
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread or crackers, if desired.
