For the Chicken & Broth:
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great!)

🔥 Instructions:
1. Sauté the Vegetables
- In a large pot, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add onion, carrots, and celery, cooking for 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Make the Roux (Thickener)
- Push the veggies to one side of the pot and melt 2 tbsp butter in the empty space.
- Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it forms a golden paste.
3. Add Chicken & Broth
- Slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Add shredded chicken, potatoes (if using), salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, and garlic powder.
- Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
4. Add Cream & Veggies

- If using Parmesan cheese, stir it in now for extra richness.
5. Serve & Enjoy!

- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with crusty bread, biscuits, or puff pastry on the side!
💡 Tips & Variations:
