Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Tbsp arrowroot starch or tapioca starch (can sub your fav gluten free flour & increase to 4-5 Tbsp but wouldn't be grain-free)
  • 2 Tbsp butter, ghee, Earth Balance or olive oil (use Earth Balance or olive oil for dairy free)*
  • 2-3 cups chicken broth or homemade stock, divided (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option) - depends on how thick you like it
  • 4 cups milk of choice (cows, unsweetened soy, coconut, rice, almond or a combo)
  • 2 celery stalks, small diced
  • 1 medium sweet onion, diced
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 2  carrots, peeled and diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper plus more to taste
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • pinch of dried rosemary
  • 1 1/2 tsp dried parsley or 2 Tbsp fresh parsley
  • 4 yukon gold potatoes, diced small
  • 3-4 cups cooked chicken or turkey breast, diced small (for vegetarian could sub 2 cup cooked lentils but may need to adjust seasoning)
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas

Instructions
 

  • Combine 1/2 cup of broth with the arrowroot (or tapioca) in a small bowl and stir until blended. Set aside.
  • In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat 1 Tbsp butter/ghee/oil over medium heat. Add celery, onion, mushrooms, carrots and sweat until onions and vegetables are cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.
  • Toss in garlic, salt, pepper and herbs and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add broth, milk and potatoes and bring the mixture to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your potatoes. Add chicken and cook another 5 minutes.
  • Add the frozen peas and let cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Whisk the arrowroot-broth mixture again and slowly add to the soup, and cook for 3 minutes until soup is thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

*I recommend using butter, ghee or Earth Balance to give a richness and buttery flavor to this dish :) Feel free to use the olive oil if you prefer though!
