Chicken Velvet Soup Recipe
In this blog, I will share with you a chicken velvet soup recipe that is extremely delicious.
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup light cream
- 1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
Instructions
- Begin by melting the butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Then, add the flour to the pot and whisk it into the butter until the mixture forms a smooth paste. This should take approximately one minute.
- Next, add the chicken broth, milk, and light cream to the pot, whisking until well combined. Cook and stir the mixture until it comes to a boil and thickens, which should take between 5 to 10 minutes. Once the mixture has thickened, reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cooked chicken.
- Return the soup to a boil and cook until the chicken is heated through, which should take approximately 5 to 10 minutes. It's important to ensure that the chicken is thoroughly heated before serving.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter to control sodium levels.
- Whisk the flour and butter mixture continuously to prevent lumps.
- Gradually add chicken broth to prevent the soup from becoming too thick.
- Use whole milk and light cream for a creamier soup.
- Add cooked chicken that is tender and juicy.
- Season with salt, pepper, and herbs to taste.
- Add diced vegetables for a more substantial soup.
- Garnish with fresh herbs or croutons.
- Serve hot with bread or crackers.
