INGREDIENTS

200 g peeled onion
1 peeled garlic clove
100 g butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 l chicken broth
200 ml cream, min. 31%
salt
pepper
100 g peeled carrot
100 g zucchini
100 g cooked potatoes
2 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
300 g cooked chicken meat
2 tablespoons clarified butter

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, add the onion and garlic, and let them soften until translucent.
2
Add the all-purpose flour and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Pour in the broth, mix, bring to a boil, reduce heat to one-third, and cook uncovered for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom. Pour in the cream, bring to a boil, mix, reduce heat to one-third, and cook for another 5 minutes. Stir occasionally.
3
Thoroughly blend the soup with an immersion blender and strain it through a fine sieve into a clean pot. Season with 2 teaspoons of salt (or to taste), a pinch of pepper, and mix.
4
Cut or shred the meat into smaller pieces and add to the soup to warm through. Cut the carrots, zucchini, and potatoes into 0.5 cm cubes.
5
In a pan over high heat, melt the clarified butter, add the carrots and sauté for 30 seconds. Add the zucchini and sauté for another 30 seconds. Add the potatoes and sauté everything for another 30 seconds. Reduce heat to half, add thyme, a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove the thyme from the pan and divide the vegetables among plates. Pour the prepared soup over them and sprinkle with chopped parsley and chives.

Tip

If you don't have cooked chicken meat, you can cook 1–2 chicken breasts in the broth. Then use 1.1 l of chicken broth in the recipe and cook the meat until tender in the broth as the first step.
