Step 1:
How to cook a delicious hearty soup with cream and chicken? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Chicken fillet was used for the soup, but other parts of the chicken (thighs, shins, wings) are also suitable. Cream for this recipe can be of any fat content, but remember that the higher the percentage of fat content of the products you use, the higher the calorie content of the dish will be. I have 20% cream.
Step 2:
Wash the chicken fillet. Put the chicken fillet in a saucepan with boiling salted water. Cook, removing the foam, for about 20 minutes until the chicken is ready. If you have chicken on the bone, you need to cook for 5-7 minutes longer.
Step 3:
While the chicken is cooking, prepare the rest of the vegetables. Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into medium cubes.
Step 4:
Peel the carrots and cut them into small cubes or grate them as you like.
Step 5:
Also cut the onion into small cubes.
Step 6:
Wash, dry and finely chop the parsley. If desired, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, dill, green onions, coriander or use a mixture of different herbs.
Step 7:
Remove the finished chicken fillet from the broth and cut into small pieces. If the meat is on the bone, separate it from the bones and slice it as well.
Step 8:
Put the sliced potatoes in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
Step 9:
Heat the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Put the onion and carrot and fry, stirring, for about 5-6 minutes. If desired, you can not fry the vegetables, but put them in the soup fresh with potatoes and cook until tender. And add a piece of butter along with the cream at the end of cooking.
Step 10:
Put the carrots fried with onions and chopped chicken fillet in a saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a minimum.
Step 11:
With constant stirring, pour in the cream in a thin stream and bring the soup to a boil again.
Step 12:
At the very end, add the chopped herbs and mix.
Step 13:
Immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid and let the soup brew for 15 minutes.
Step 14:
Pour the soup on plates and serve to the table. Bon appetit!

Important! Regardless of whether the amount of water for soup is indicated in the recipe or not, it is best to focus on your own preferences (thick or more liquid soup you like), as well as on the size of your pan and the products taken for cooking. Do not forget that the author has his own view on the amount of meat, potatoes, cereals and other ingredients in the soup, which may not coincide with yours. In practice, this means that if you are cooking for the first time, you should not cook a whole pot at once. Make a soup for tasting - for one or two people. To do this, reduce the amount of all ingredients according to the recipe to 1-2 servings, and take the amount of water from the calculation: from one glass per serving - if the soup is very thick, to 1.5-2 glasses - if more liquid. Do not forget to take into account that part of the liquid will boil off during the cooking process. After tasting a small portion of soup, you can adjust both the amount of liquid and the proportions of ingredients to your taste. In the future, like most experienced housewives, you will be able to pour water for soup and lay the ingredients “by eye".

For cooking, it is better to use filtered or bottled water that is neutral to taste. If you use tap water, keep in mind that it can give the dish an unpleasant characteristic taste.

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.
