Ingredients
To make creamy white wine chicken soup with potatoes, you need the following simple ingredients (exact measurements are in the recipe card below):
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts: Feel free to substitute leftover shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken for a quicker meal!
- Onion: White onion, yellow onion or sweet onion will all work!
- Celery
- Carrots: Fresh green beans or white mushrooms would also be a great addition to the soup. I would add them with the carrots and celery if you use them!
- Yellow potatoes: I used baby yellow potatoes, cut in half. You could substitute large yellow potatoes cut into cubes. Idaho potatoes would also work, but they may break down a bit more in the soup, giving it a little creamier, starchier consistency.
- Garlic cloves: Feel free to substitute pre-minced garlic or garlic powder.
- Dry white wine: Use a high quality white wine. This gives a lot of flavor to the soup, so choose something that you would like to drink. If you don't want to use wine, you could substitute a squeeze of lemon juice for a little acidity, but it will change the flavor of the soup.
- Chicken stock
- Dried Italian herb seasoning blend
- Cream: You could substitute half and half for a little lighter soup
- Cornstarch
- Frozen peas
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish. I used some fresh parsley, but fresh rosemary or thyme would be delicious too.
Instructions
Step One: Prepare the ingredients. Cut the chicken into small bite-sized pieces. Mince the onion and garlic. Peel and slice the carrots. Dice the celery. Wash the baby potatoes well and cut them in half.
Step Two: Warm the olive oil in a large pot or dutch oven on the stove top over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast to the pot with a small pinch of salt. Cook the chicken until it is opaque on all sides. A little bit of golden brown coloring is perfectly fine and will just add flavor to the soup. Remove the chicken from the pot.
Step Three: Add the onion to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until translucent. Add the carrots, celery and minced garlic, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step Four: Pour in the white wine, and scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add the chicken stock, Italian seasoning, potatoes and cooked chicken back to the pot. Bring the soup to a simmer over medium to medium-high heat.
Step Five: Allow the soup to simmer for about 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. In a small bowl, combine the cream with the cornstarch and whisk until no lumps remain. Reduce the stove to medium-low heat and pour the cream mixture (called a slurry) into the soup. Stir until well combined. Add the frozen peas. Allow the soup to simmer another 5 minutes or so, until thickened.
Step Six: Taste the soup, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with some fresh herbs, if desired, and serve!
Storage
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for put o 3-4 days. For longer storage, freeze the soup in a glass freezer container. Be sure to leave enough room at the top of the container for the soup to expand (called head space). This will help keep your container from breaking when the soup freezes!
