2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
4 medium potatoes, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
1 onion, chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the diced potatoes and carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add in the shredded chicken and pour in the chicken broth. Bring everything to a gentle boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Stir in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, and let it warm through for another 5 minutes.
For a thicker soup, mash a few of the potatoes against the side of the pot and stir. Alternatively, use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
