Easy Creamy Chicken Potato Soup

 

There’s just something magical about a pot of soup bubbling away on the stove, filling the house with cozy, comforting aromas—especially on a chilly evening. While many people think of fall and winter as "Soup Season," I’m one of those who can enjoy a good soup any time of the year. It’s the perfect way to use up leftovers and get a little creative in the kitchen!

For me, a great soup is all about following a simple formula: broth as your base, some protein, veggies, a carb (if you want), and then a fun topping to pull it all together. That’s it! Once you have those basics, the possibilities are endless.

  

This creamy chicken and potato soup is a perfect example. I used homemade bone broth, leftover roasted chicken, potatoes, onions, carrots, and a splash of cream to make it rich and satisfying. And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a sprinkle of sharp cheddar on top! It’s such a simple dish, but it’s bursting with flavor and warmth—just what you need for a cozy night in. Since I threw it together with what I had, the measurements are a bit flexible, but here’s how I made it:

  

Creamy Chicken and Potato Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• Roasted Chicken Breast, chopped
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 large carrot, shredded
• 1 tbsp butter (grass-fed is my favorite)
• 2 cups bone broth (store-bought works too!)
• 2 cups water
• ½ cup heavy cream or 1 cup whole milk
• 2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 tsp rosemary
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp thyme
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they’re soft and translucent.
2. Pour in the bone broth, water, potatoes, and shredded carrot. Let it simmer until the potatoes are nice and tender.
3. Add the roasted chicken and all the spices, stirring it all together.
4. Just before serving, stir in the cream to give it that rich, creamy texture.
5. Ladle it into bowls and top with a generous handful of shredded cheddar cheese.
