# Ingredients:

01 - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
02 - 85 grams all-purpose flour
03 - 120 milliliters heavy whipping cream

→ Vegetables

04 - 1 medium yellow onion, chopped (approximately 150 grams)
05 - 2 medium carrots, thinly sliced (approximately 120 grams)
06 - 2 celery stalks, finely chopped (approximately 100 grams)
07 - 225 grams white or brown mushrooms, sliced
08 - 454 grams Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 6 mm thick
09 - 1 cup (150 grams) frozen peas
10 - 1 cup (160 grams) frozen or canned corn
11 - 15 grams fresh parsley, finely chopped
12 - 3 garlic cloves, minced

→ Protein

13 - 454 grams cooked shredded chicken

→ Liquids and Seasoning

14 - 1.4 liters chicken stock
15 - 3.5 teaspoons salt, or to taste
16 - 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper

# Steps:

01 - Melt butter in a dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, celery, and sliced carrots. Sauté for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.
02 - Stir in sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Continue to sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
03 - Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to form a golden roux.
04 - Gradually whisk in chicken stock, then add sliced potatoes, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer, partially cover, and cook for 12 to 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
05 - Add shredded chicken, frozen peas, frozen corn, heavy cream, and chopped parsley. Return to simmer and cook for another 5 minutes until peas and corn are tender. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed, then remove from heat.

# Notes:

01 - For best texture, add peas and corn towards the end of cooking to keep them vibrant and tender.
02 - Uniformly chopping vegetables and chicken ensures even cooking throughout.
03 - A slow, gentle simmer deepens flavor without breaking down ingredients excessively.
