Cook the Chicken: Simmer chicken in broth until cooked through, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.

step 2

Sauté the Vegetables: Cook carrots, celery, and onions in butter until softened and aromatic.

step 3

Make the Roux: Stir in flour with the sautéed vegetables to form a thick paste that will thicken the soup.

step 4
