Ingredients

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup diced or grated carrot
2 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup diced potato (fresh or frozen)
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (4 ounces) cooked and diced chicken
½ cup low-fat or nonfat milk
1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon red wine vinegar (optional)
pepper to taste (optional)

Directions

Wash hands with soap and water.
In a medium saucepan, sauté onion and carrot on medium heat until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add broth, potato, thyme, garlic powder and salt. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer until the potatoes are soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
While potatoes are cooking, stir flour and milk together in a small dish.
Add chicken to the saucepan and stir 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.
Slowly add milk mixture and stir as the soup thickens. Boil gently for 2 to 3 minutes.
Before serving, add vinegar and pepper, if desired.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

Substitute the diced carrot with any combination of carrot, celery, pepper or leek.
Substitute other vegetables such as corn or broccoli for half of the potatoes.

Thanks for this recipe that makes just the right amount of soup for a meal for 2! Some recipes make so much and we don't always want so many leftovers.
