Ingredients
- 1 can condensed cream of chicken soup 10.5 oz
- 1 can condensed cream of celery soup 10.5 oz
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 cups chicken broth low-sodium
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (carrots
- peas
- corn
- green beans)
- 1 cup frozen diced potatoes or fresh peeled and diced
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken optional but recommended
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon white pepper
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish
- crackers for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
- Add the frozen mixed vegetables and frozen potatoes to the pot. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes to begin thawing.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Let cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are starting to become tender.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add both cans of condensed soup (cream of chicken and cream of celery) directly to the pot. Stir well to combine and break up any lumps.
- Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously. This helps prevent lumps and creates a smooth, creamy base.
- Add the shredded rotisserie chicken (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, white pepper, and black pepper. Stir well to incorporate all seasonings.
- Continue to cook over medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup is heated through and has thickened slightly. Be careful not to let it boil vigorously – you want a gentle simmer.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and additional pepper if needed. The condensed soups are salty, so you may not need much additional salt.
- Serve immediately in bowls, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with crackers, crusty bread, or cornbread for a complete meal!.
Notes
u003cliu003eThis soup is very forgiving and easy to customize. You can use any combination of vegetables you like – broccoli, cauliflower, or zucchini all work well. The soup thickens as it sits, so add more milk or broth when reheating. For a vegetarian version, use cream of mushroom instead of cream of chicken and vegetable broth. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.u003c/liu003e
