Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 tbsp butter
  • 1 small yellow onion (chopped)
  • 2 large carrots (sliced into coins)
  • 2 large celery sticks (sliced (about ½ cup))
  • 3 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • ⅓ cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour (gluten-free flour if needed)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk (I used skim; 2% and whole work too)
  • 1 ½ cups sweet potatoes (1 medium) or Yukon potatoes (~1 lb) (cut into small bite-sized cubes)
  • 1 tsp salt (plus more to taste)
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper (plus more to taste)
  • 12 tbsp fresh thyme (or 1 tsp dried thyme)
  • 34 cups cooked shredded chicken (I love using rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 24 cups baby spinach (chopped (optional))

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery; cook until softened (6-8 minutes). Stir in minced garlic for the last 30 seconds.
  2. Mix in flour until vegetables are coated; cook for 1 minute.
  3. Pour in chicken stock, milk, sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil then reduce heat; simmer for 15-20 minutes until sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
