Ingredients
Soup Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 package Boursin cheese (5 oz)
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup diced celery
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter until it is fully liquefied and slightly bubbling, preparing the base for sautéing the vegetables.
- Sauté Vegetables: Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Add Broth and Simmer: Pour in the chicken broth and increase the heat slightly to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Add Chicken: Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and let it cook with the simmering broth for about 5 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
- Melt Boursin Cheese: Gradually stir in the Boursin cheese, allowing it to melt smoothly into the soup, creating a creamy texture and rich taste.
- Add Heavy Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well to combine all ingredients evenly, enhancing the creaminess of the soup.
- Season: Season the soup with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Serve Warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve immediately while warm and comforting.
Notes
- Add spinach or kale during the sauté step for extra nutrition and greens.
- Using rotisserie chicken can save time and add extra flavor.
- Avoid boiling the soup after adding the heavy cream to prevent curdling and maintain a smooth texture.
