Recipe Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk constantly until a smooth paste forms, about 1-2 minutes. This is your roux.
In a separate fry pan, sauté shallots and leeks until they start to soften. Add the green onion, bell pepper, carrots, and celery.
Cook for a minute, then transfer to the pot with the roux (after you added the milk to that pot).
Gradually pour milk into the roux while continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Allow the mixture to thicken slightly, then add chicken stock. Adjust the heat to maintain a gentle simmer.
Add the sautéed vegetables to the soup base. Incorporate the cubed potatoes and continue to simmer until the vegetables are nearly tender.
In a separate pot, cook the pasta al dente in salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.
In a fry pan, sauté the chicken pieces until golden brown. Add the mushrooms midway through and cook until the chicken is fully cooked and the mushrooms have released their moisture.
Add the cooked chicken and mushrooms to the soup. Stir in the cooked pasta. The soup will start to thicken due to the starch from the potatoes and pasta.
Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let the cheese melt and blend into the soup. If the soup is too thick, adjust the consistency with a little more milk or chicken stock. If it’s too thin, a cornstarch slurry can be used to thicken it.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste and let it simmer for a final few minutes.
Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and a few finely chopped herbs if desired.
