Ingredients

Chunky Cream of Chicken Soup

  • 3–4 tablespoons Gefen Olive Oil, divided

  • 1 pound (450 grams) chicken cutlets, cubed

  • salt, to taste

  • pepper, to taste

  • 1/2 cup white wine, such as Tuscanini Cooking Wine

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 2 stalks celery, sliced

  • 2 large carrots, diced

  • 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • 2 medium zucchini, peeled and diced

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard, or to taste

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, or to taste

  • 2 pinches celery seed

  • pinch oregano

  • 1/4 cup flour

  • 1 rounded tablespoon chicken soup mix dissolved in 5 cups water

  • 1 cup unsweetened or slightly sweetened soy milk

  • 3/4–1 cup frozen peas or corn (or 1/2 cup of each)

  • handful chopped fresh parsley or dill

Directions

1.

Heat one to two tablespoons olive oil in a six-quart pot over medium-high heat until very hot.

2.

Pat the chicken cubes dry, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add to the pot to sear. Cook for four minutes, stirring once or twice, until no longer pink. Transfer to a bowl.

3.

Deglaze the pot with the wine; cook for four minutes or until reduced by half. Stir once or twice to get the chicken bits that are stuck to the pan. Pour the wine over the chicken cubes and set aside.

4.

Heat two tablespoons olive oil in the same pot. Add onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for five to seven minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and zucchini and sauté for another two minutes.

5.

Add the seasoning and flour and toss to coat all veggies. Cook for about two minutes. Add the soup mix dissolved in water and soy milk. Bring to a boil.

6.

Lower heat and add the reserved chicken cubes and wine. Cook for 20 minutes.

7.

Add peas and/or corn and continue cooking for another 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add parsley or dill and let steep for a few minutes.

Tips:

If you prefer a thicker soup, blend half the veggies after cooking and reheat together with the remainder of the soup.

It’s easier to cut chicken cutlets when they’re semi-frozen.

Notes:

I like this soup with the hint of sweetness provided by the lightly sweetened soy milk. It gives the soup an interesting twist. If that’s not up your alley, feel free to sub a more neutral tasting pareve milk, such as almond milk. You can even sub water, but it won’t have that rich flavor.
