Creamy Chicken Potato Soup
This creamy chicken potato soup recipe is a wholesome dinner that uses rotisserie chicken for ease! A piping hot bowl of it is loaded with bacon, veggies, and tender potatoes.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 5 strips bacon
- 1 medium onion chopped small
- 2 medium carrots peeled & chopped small
- 2 sticks celery chopped small
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
- 2 medium-to-large Russet potatoes peeled & diced
- 3/4 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
- 2 cups cooked/rotisserie chicken
- Seasoning salt & pepper to taste, see note
Instructions
- Cut the bacon into small pieces (kitchen shears make it easy) and add it to a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook until crispy (about 10 min.).
- Transfer the bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Leave the bacon fat in the pot.
- Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning, and flour, and cook for about a minute, stirring nearly constantly.
- Add in the chicken broth. Give it a good stir to ensure the flour has dissolved and the browned bits are scraped up from the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in the cream, potatoes, and corn. Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Once it's boiling, reduce the heat to a rapid simmer so it's gently boiling.
- Cook, with the lid slightly open, for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- Add in the cooked chicken and bacon and continue cooking the soup for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the chicken is heated through.
- Season the soup with seasoning salt & pepper.
Notes
- Lawry's seasoning salt is my personal preference for this soup! Tony's seasoning works great too. You can definitely use your preferred brand/type of salt, though.
- I do not recommend subbing the cream for milk or half-and-half - the boiling could curdle the soup.
