Instructions: How to Cook Ls Ayres Chicken Velvet Soup
- In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a simmer. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the broth and shred it using two forks. Set aside.
- In a separate pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped celery, onion, and carrots. Cook until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Add the shredded chicken back into the pot. Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
- Remove from heat and serve the Chicken Velvet Soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika.
