  4. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux.

  6. Simmer 10–15 minutes until vegetables are tender and broth thickens slightly.
  7. Stir in cooked chicken, peas, and corn; simmer another 5 minutes.

Notes

  • Swap chicken with turkey for a holiday version.
  • For a low-carb option, skip flour and thicken with cream cheese.
  • Add diced potatoes or mushrooms for extra heartiness.
  • Make vegetarian by using white beans and vegetable broth.
  • Refrigerate leftovers up to 4 days; add broth or milk when reheating if soup thickens.
  • Not recommended for freezing if dairy is used.
