Method
 

Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery, and cook for 5–7 minutes until softened.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1 minute to form a light roux.
  3. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the diced potatoes and simmer for 12–15 minutes until tender.
  5. Stir in the cooked chicken and milk. Lower the heat and warm gently without boiling.
  6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Notes

This soup is best simmered gently. Avoid boiling after adding milk to keep the texture smooth and creamy.
