Prepare all the other vegetable ingredients as stated in the ingredients section.
Melt 6 tbsp butter in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium-sized chopped yellow onion, 2 finely chopped celery sticks, and 2 thinly sliced medium carrots shaped into rings. Sauté the added ingredients for about 5-7 minutes while occasionally stirring until they are softened and lightly golden in color.
Then, add the 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and add 3 minced garlic cloves. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ingredients are softened. Next, add 6 cups of chicken stock, 1 lb of sliced potatoes, 3 ½ tsp of salt, and ½ tsp of black pepper.
Bring the pan to a boil and then reduce the heat to a simmer. Partially cover the pan with a tight lid and let it cook for 12–15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Add in the shredded chicken, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 1 cup of frozen corn. Then, add in ½ cup of heavy whipping cream and ¼ cup of finely chopped parsley.
Bring the soup to a simmer and continue to cook for another 5 minutes until the peas and corn are tender. Season the soup with some salt and pepper to taste and remove the pan from the heat.
Serve it hot and enjoy every savory scoop.
