Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-low heat and sauté onion, carrots, and celery for 6-8 minutes until soft. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
  2. Add flour and mix well with vegetables. Cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
  3. Pour in chicken stock and milk, then add sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer for 15-20 minutes until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
  4. Add cooked chicken, peas, and parsley; simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, then serve warm.

  2. For extra creaminess, consider adding a splash more milk or a dollop of sour cream before serving. Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
