Come here.   Now, come closer. I want to tell you a story; a story about a talking pig, a pig named Babe. Babe talks to sheeee…what? Well…this is embarrassing! Totally wrong story…oops!

Now that I’ve gathered my wits, I do have a story to tell. A story about a gal named Susie and her soup she named Creamy Chicken Soup.

Susie had lived her entire life without creating THE soup. THE soup that would top all soups. THE soup that would set the gold standard for all other soups.

Now, keep in mind Susie wasn’t a braggart, but she knew a great thing when she tasted it, and when she tasted Creamy Chicken Soup, she knew it was THE soup.

 

Just to clarify, I am the Susie in this story, and I am one proud mama to this soup. I tested and retested Creamy Chicken Soup until I decided with one last tweak, she was perfect.

Isn’t she a beauty?!

I understand now why I got confused at the beginning of this post when I started writing about the movie Babe. I guess I’m as proud of my Creamy Chicken Soup as Farmer Hoggett was of Babe when he looked down and said, “That’ll do pig, That’ll do.”

That’ll do Creamy Chicken Soup, That’ll do.

Ingredients

  • For the Roux:
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1- cup reduced-salt chicken stock
  • For the Soup:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 4-6 carrots peeled and cut into 1/8” slices
  • 2 celery stalks cut into 1/8” slices
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 3 cups reduced-salt chicken broth
  • ¼ cup dry or semi-dry white wine; a good drinking wine
  • cups milk cream or half and half (or a mixture of cream and skim milk)
  • 2 tablespoons chicken base granules or chicken cubes
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley or 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • teaspoon Herbs de Provence
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric optional
  • ½ teaspoon paprika optional
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 4-5 cups cooked chicken cubed or shredded – rotisserie chicken works well, but do NOT use smoked chicken.
  • Garnish: Shredded Gruyere cheese
  • Chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. For the Roux:
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan then sprinkle the flour on top. Whisk quickly until well combined. Cook, whisking occasionally, until the roux turns light golden brown. Slowly, while whisking, add 1-cup chicken broth to the roux and whisk vigorously until smooth. Remove the roux from the heat and set it aside while combining other ingredients.
  3. For the Soup:
  4. In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil over MED-HIGH heat. Add the carrots and celery, sauté 5 minutes; stir occasionally. Add the diced onions and cook 3 additional minutes or until the onions are translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook 30 seconds – just long enough for the garlic to bloom.
  5. Slowly add 1 cup of broth while scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze the pan. Add the rest of the broth and the wine, the roux and stir well. Bring the mixture to a boil and stir often..

  6. Reduce the heat to LOW and add all other ingredients except the garnishes.
  7. Simmer 15 minutes then taste and adjust seasonings, if necessary. This is the time to add salt or pepper, if desired. Continue to simmer the soup until it thickens, about 30-45 minutes more, or to the desired consistency.

  8. Discard the bay leaves.
  9. Garnish with sprinklings of shredded Gruyere and fresh parsley.
  10. Serve with crusty bread. Mmm-Mmm GREAT!
  11. Enjoy!!

Recipe Notes

Note: Creamy Chicken Soup is delicious served over baked potatoes.
*Note: A variation: Potatoes are delicious added to this soup. I like to bake or steam a couple of Yukon Gold potatoes until tender, chop them into 1” cubes and add to the soup right before serving.
***Note: If the soup doesn’t thicken to your liking, add 2 tablespoons cornstarch to ¼ cup cold milk/cream, stir and add it to the soup. Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes, stir often. Reduce heat to LOW and simmer until desired thickness.
****Creamy Chicken Soup freezes well. It will keep up to 3 months. Be sure NO potatoes are added before freezing.

    This looks and sounds amazing! Just one question when do you add the roux back in? Will be making very soon.
      Susie Gall
      Hello Patty and thank you for visiting Simply Sated. Also, thanks for finding my error in the recipe. The roux is added right after adding the bulk of the chicken broth. I have corrected the recipe to indicate where to add the roux. Thanks again and please let me know if you find other errors. I truly appreciate it.
    Sylvia
    I was using the other recipe that was on the cookie rookie website. It had tumeric in it and this recipe doesn't. It doesn't taste the same or small the same as the other one. The other recipe was so good I made it 3 times in 1 week and told so many people about. Is there somewhere to find the original one.
      Susie Gall
      Thank you for your comment Sylvia. I did, accidentally, omit the turmeric, but have added it back to the recipe. This is my original recipe, and I had listed 1/2 turmeric (as an option) in the original because many people don't keep it in their pantry. I think it is a great addition, also. I hope you enjoy, and thanks again for pointing out my omission.

    This is the best chicken soup! I have five kids ranging from ages 22 down to 12, plus my husband. They request that I make it often - very often. And when they invite guests over, they want me to make this. Thank you so much for this fabulous gem!

    I have been making this soup since I found it on The Cookie Rookie, it is by far my most favorite chicken soup! The flavors are incredible! Am I crazy or did the recipe once call for tumeric??
      Susie Gall
      Hello Mona, You are correct, the original recipe did include 1/2 teaspoon turmeric which I had listed as optional. I have added it back to the recipe since it so many like the addition. Thank you for pointing out my omission. I appreciate it and hope this helps. Enjoy!

    Thank you for fixing. I also have made the original recipe from The cookie Rookie several times and have shared The recipe as well. Best darn soup ever! I do believe The making of the roux changed as well. I don't recall adding in broth to the roux, just added the roux in at the end with everything else. Thanks for this amazing soup my whole family loves time after time.

    This soup is ridiculously good. I made it twice within a two week span....and ate it every day at work. The second time I made some wild rice (cooked in chicken broth)....added it to the soup. A wonderful addition. Thank you for this!

    Best soup ever. I’ve made it over 6 times in the last month for different people and it always gets the same response!😍 thank u sooo much for sharing!
    Lisa
    I absolutely love this soup. And I rarely, if ever, say that about recipes from blogs or other internet sites that I visit. I am very picky- my mother and her mother before her trained at a french cooking school so I do know what good food is. And this is it! I made the recipe as written with left-over baked chicken that I had made 2 nights before. I did not have herbs de provence and used fresh thyme and rosemary as a substitute. I do try to watch calories and I used 2% milk with 1/2 cup half-n-half. Served with french baguette and white wine- yummy. I will absolutely make this again. And again. And again!

    Ive been makiNg this for a whils but have been having lactose Intolerance lately. What kind of dairy free milk would you suggest in this recipe? Thanks!

    5 stars

      Susie Gall
      Hello Cherie, I need to say I'm not anywhere knowledgeable about being lactose intolerant. With that said, I did a quick google search and Soy milk comes highly rated in substitutions for cow's milk when making soup. I haven't tested my recipe with soy milk, so I can't it is a great substitution. I'm sorry, I just don't know (for certain) without testing the recipe. If you do, please let me know your results. I would truly appreciate any input. Thanks so much.
      Cathy
      My daughter is lactose intolerant and I use canned coconut milk. It turns out fabulous! It changes the taste a little and isn't quite as heavy. I have made it both ways but prefer the coconut milk way. It is One of our favorite soups ever.

    I read the reveiws first before trying it and almost did not make it, so glad I did. There were a few reveiws that said it had not taste. so untrue, this is a keeper. I did not have 1½ teaspoon Herbs de Provence so I add the spices that are in there. At the end I add a few noodles. Very tasty will make it again and again thank for recipe.

    This was insanely delicious, Yukon Gold are my 'go-to' potatoes, and I served them cooked & diced in a separate bowl, so that whomever wanted to add them to their soup could do so. It took a bit longer than 15 min.to prep the mizenplas, but once that was done, the rest went pretty quickly. This was a lovely & comforting dish, on a cold snowy day.

    I do not keep bouLlion/chicken base in my house. Is there a substitute for it or can it be omitted? Is there a fresher option?
      Susie Gall
      Hello Eleni, I'm not sure, but I suppose you could use an additional cup of chicken broth with added salt. The bouillon cubes/base are very salty, so just add enough kosher salt or even seasoned salt, to taste. Thanks for stopping by and please let me know how your soup turns out.
    Féat Cécile
    Hi from Belgium! I've been making this soup for years now, it's been a hit since day one in our family and earned its own page in our family recipes folder! So here I am thanking you from the bottom of our hungry bellies. Heading off to make the first batch of this years chilly season. Yay :-D

      Hello Cécile. Your sweet comment has made my day...my week...well...if I'm completely honest, your comment made my year!! I think I might actually copy it to frame and put on my refrigerator.

    Rose
    I loVe soup, however I have not tried This recipe yet. Besides Tumeric, i see that paprika and red pepper flakes are Also optional ingredIents. Do you use thEse ingredIentS in this Recipe? Everything makes a differencE in the outcomE of the finished product. Does this question make sense?
      Susie Gall
      Hello Rose, Your question is a good one. I use all the ingredients listed in the recipe (almost) each time I make it. I don't always add turmeric, but others have said they miss it when left out. Not everyone likes a little 'heat' in their soup, but I do, so I added red pepper flakes although sparingly. I love the smoky nuance the Smoky Paprika adds, but I still consider it optional. I 'tweak' every recipe I create almost each time I make it and find it's a fun way to experiment with flavors, seasonings and spices. Thanks for asking and thanks for stopping by Simply Sated.
    Frank
    Hi Susie! Frank from the Netherlands here. I made your soup today and it is gorgeous. Truly delicious and very well balanced. your tweaking paid off girl! keep it up and thanks for sharing!
      Susie Gall
      Hello Frank and just how sweet are you?!! Thank you so much for visiting Simply Sated. I truly appreciate you taking the time to let me know you love my soup (Forgive me for sounding like Sally Fields when she accepted her Oscar years ago:-) Please come back and don't hesitate to give constructive feedback. Thanks again and have a great day! Susie
    Susan
    I have not made the soup yet but was curious as to why you state to not use smoked chicken?
      Susie Gall
      Hey Susan, The reason I say not to use smoked chicken is because I did use it once thinking it would add a nice touch. The soup was just okay, but not nearly as good as usual. I think it is due to too many flavors fighting for the lead - especially when there are already so many flavors going on. Smoky chicken actually made the soup not as tasty. Thanks for the question and thanks for stopping by Simply Sated. I hope you make the soup - it is delicious.
    MrsFox
    Its a keeper! My family absolutley loved this soup! We used rotisserie chicken and fOllowed the recipe, we wouldnt change a thing. Next time we will make double. Thank you!

      Susie Gall
      Hello Caroline and thanks for letting me know how much you have enjoyed this soup. It is my favorite. I often serve leftovers over baked potatoes or cut up baked potatoes (or steam baby potatoes) to add to the soup. It is extra-hearty then:-) Have a great day and thanks again for letting me know.
    Amanda Yates
    Where does the white wine come in? Excited to try your soup!
      Susie Gall
      Hello Amanda and thanks for your question. It originally came in where the instructions say to "add the remaining ingredients...", but I just now changed it to add the wine right after deglazing the pan. If you read through the directions, you can see the correction now. I think it makes a little more sense and is clearer. Thanks so much for your comment - it always helps to know about any confusing issues in a recipe. Have a great week and thanks for visiting Simply Sated. Susie

      Susie Gall
      Hello Kathy. Thank you for your question concerning the white wine. I have used many different white wines except sweet white wine and have had success with all. My first choice is a semi-dry white such as Kendall Jackson Pinot Gris or even Riesling. Just keep in mind it should be more of a medium-dry - NOT a sweet wine. Thanks again and I hope you enjoy my soup as much as my family does.

      Also, firat Time i made This, i DOUBLEd recipe for a church soup event...and I put it in a LARGE crockpot on warm..crockpot full to the brim. There were many different soups and about half was eaten. After we finished cleaning up, I went to the kitchen to retrieve my crockpot and there were several people in there and all were having 2nd & 3rd helpings of my soup..it was completely gone. It was a huge hit. 3veryone was curious about the herbs in it and the yellowish color. Needless to say I sent your RECIPE to many people that night 😘

    Delicious! I have made this several times just as written and its extremely flavorful with a lovely aroma! (However, I may or may not add more white wine than it calls for, just because I love wine and the flavor it adds :P)Highly recommend this recipe! today im gonna make it again but add potatoes! Thanks!

    5 stars

      Susie Gall
      Thank you Alysa, for stopping by and trying my Creamy Chicken Soup. Thank you, also, for taking the time to let me know. I really appreciate your comments. I think you will love the addition to potatoes. I often add potatoes if I know I won't have leftovers to freeze since it freezes well without them. Another idea is to bake a couple of large Yukon Gold or yellow potatoes during the soup preparation, cut them up and add the baked potato chunks to individual servings. Either way, the soup tastes great. Thanks again and have a great day.
    Lauri
    I am excited to make this soup, but my HUSBAnd has a bad gluten allergy. I am wondering if instead of the roux I CaN just use the cornstarch to thicken it?
      Susie Gall
      Hello Lauri and thank you for your question. Yes, you can use cornstarch or Arrowroot to thicken the soup. Either one should work just fine. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.
      Stephanie
      I use rice flour to thicken everything i make. You use just a little bit more rice flour than “real” flour that is called for in the recipe. I have tried many gluten free thickeners and have found rice flour to come the closest to “real” flour. Do everything the same as the recipe calls for with the real flour, just use rice flour.
    Stephanie
    Im going to be making this next week. I don’t know if i am the only person to do this... but, i like to make creamy soups Extra thick and pOur over homemade buttermilk biscuits. So so good!
    Sarah
    This sounds delicious i will be making today! Just wondering whY the potatoes can not be addes before FReezing? Thanks!

    4 stars

      Susie Gall
      Hello Sarah and thank you for your question. The potatoes take a big hit after thawing - they become mealy and mushy. Some people don't mind the change in texture, but the soup is so much better without mushy-ish potatoes. I often bake or steam a few potatoes, cut them up and add them to the soup if I want potatoes. If you have leftover soup, but not enough for a complete bowl or two, just bake a couple of potatoes and use the soup as a topping - absolutely delicious. I hope you love the soup as much as my family and I do. Please let me know. Enjoy!

    Why shouldn't I use smoked chicken? That's what I'm working with and am not unsure about trying this recipe 😳
      Susie Gall
      Hello Sarah, I have made this Creamy Chicken Soup dozens of times and with chicken cooked different ways, i.e. rotisserie, roasted, pan-cooked, slow-cooked, smoked and (I'm sure) a few others. For some reason, the only time I didn't love how it turned out was when using the smoked chicken. Maybe the chicken I used was too strongly smoked - I'm not sure. Maybe the smoky flavor overwhelmed the other flavorings in the soup - probably. It just didn't have a good balance of flavors and the true flavor didn't shine. With that said, this is just my opinion and you might love the smoky flavor addition. Thanks so much - I hope this helps.

    Can this be made without the wine? Also i don’t have herbs de Provence and don’t have a clue what to substitute.. Im not the best cook but i’m trying. Can’t wait to try this. Thank you
      Susie Gall
      Hello Dianne, the chicken soup can be made without the wine, but in my opinion it is necessary to achieve the special taste of this recipe. Herbs de Provence is one of my favorite herb blends. It includes dried rosemary, fennel, thyme, basil and lavender (plus several other herbs). You could use a combination of the herbs you have on hand. Here is a recipe I wrote for my daughter's blog, https://www.thecookierookie.com/homemade-herbs-de-provence-recipe/#wprm-recipe-container-52012 Thank you for stopping by - I hope you love my Creamy Chicken Soup as much as my family and I do. Have a great day.
    Karla Satre
    This Soup looks amazing and I plan to try it! Fall has just started and I'm ready for some good hot soup! I am gluten free with Sciliac. Can I replace the flour in the roux with corn starch or should I use a gluten free flour instead.Otherwise it's all the things I can eat. Thank you so much for sharing!
      Susie Gall
      Thank you for asking Karla. Yes, you can add a slurry of cornstarch/water to replace the roux. In fact, it is a little easier to thicken the soup like that. Thanks for stopping by Simply Sated - I hope you enjoy the soup.
