PREPARATION:
Peel potatoes and cut into 1″ cubes.
Slice the carrots into 1/8″ rounds.
Shred or chop pre-cooked chicken.
Mince the onion and saute it in the cooking oil, in a deep stock pot, for 3 or 4 minutes until it begins to soften and be aromatic.
Add in the cubed potatoes and carrots.
Pour the chicken stock and the milk (or almond milk or dairy alternative milk) into the pan over the vegetables.
Stir in the homemade chicken bouillon, minced garlic, bay leaves and poultry seasoning.
Bring the pot to a boil and then reduce to medium heat. You may want to stir occasionally as the pot comes to a boil to make sure nothing is sticking.
Allow the mixture to cook over medium heat until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Whisk the arrowroot powder (or cornstarch) into the 1/2 cup of cold water. Pour the slurry into the soup pot and stir to combine.
Add the pre-cooked chicken and stir.
The soup will begin to thicken in just a minute or two.
Shut off the heat and stir in the frozen peas. The heat of the soup will be enough to warm them and they will retain their bright green color.
Taste the finished soup one last time and add salt and pepper as needed.
Serve with biscuits, puff pastry sticks or even a green salad on the side.
Enjoy !
