- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 tsp (5 mL) dried thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt
- 1/4 tsp (1 mL) freshly ground pepper
- 2 cups (500 mL) sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) all-purpose flour
- 6 cups (1.5 L) sodium-reduced chicken broth
- 1 cup (250 mL) 10% half-and-half cream
- 2 cups (500 mL) chopped cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) each peas and corn kernels
- Garlic Toast:
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter, slightly softened
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp (5 mL) chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
DIRECTIONS
- In large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook onion, carrots, celery, thyme, garlic, bay leaf, salt and pepper for 10 minutes or until softened. Add mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes or until tender.
- Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to combine; pour in broth and cream. Add chicken; simmer for 30 minutes or until mixture has thickened. Stir in peas and corn. Divide evenly among soup bowls.
- Garlic Toast: Stir together butter, cheese, parsley and garlic until well combined. Arrange bread on baking sheet; broil for 2 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip over and carefully spread garlic butter on untoasted side; broil for 2 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Place one on top of each soup bowl. Serve immediately.
Tip: The garlic toast can also be prepared in a toaster oven, if desired. Use 35% whipping cream for a more indulgent soup, if desired.
