How to Make Alpine Village House Soup Chicken Supreme
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine 8 cups of chicken broth, 1 whole chicken (about 3-4 lbs), 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 1 onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, 1 bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken meat, discarding the skin and bones. Set aside.
- In a separate saucepan, heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering. (Do not let it smoke.)
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth and a paste forms. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the roux is a light golden brown and the consistency of mashed potatoes.
- Gradually whisk the roux into the simmering soup. Continue to cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup has thickened.
- Add the shredded chicken back to the soup. Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream or milk (optional, for extra creaminess).
- (Optional) For an ultra-smooth texture, carefully puree a portion of the soup (about 1/3) in a blender until smooth. Return to the pot and stir to combine.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
