Developed for RSC#11. This soup knocked my socks off. I made more soon after finishing batch #1. It's so creamy - thickened with a roux and topped off with cream. The shallots & white wine make it refined & lovely while the cayenne gives it a nice kick. All while being creamy, dreamy comfort food. It's quick & easy, too. What more could you want??
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup minced shallot
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup white wine
4 cups chicken broth
4 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (more or less to taste)
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons minced parsley
Directions:
1. In a large soup pot, melt the butter.
2. Saute shallots until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Whisk in flour. Cook a few minutes.
4. Add wine & whisk until smooth. Cook until bubbly & thick.
5. Add chicken broth, milk, cayenne, salt, & chicken. Bring to just a simmer for 5 minutes to heat through thoroughly & thicken.
6. Add cream & bring to a simmer again. Garnish with a sprinkling of parsley & serve.
