Creamy Garlic Chicken Soup (Velouté Style)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Soups
A marriage between garlic cream soup and chicken stew. This dish is the thick, creamy cousin of healing chicken noodle soup. The abundance of garlic supports the immune system, while the chicken enriches the dish with protein. The base is a silky garlic sauce where the meat is either blended in for a pâté-like consistency (velouté style) or left in chunks. In this recipe, we aim for total creaminess.

Instructions

1 ✓

Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Tip: The smaller you cut the meat, the faster it cooks and the easier it is to blend.
2 ✓

Sauté the onion in olive oil until translucent, then add the garlic and sauté gently for 30 seconds.

Tip: Garlic has a low sugar content and caramelizes quickly, then burns. Stir constantly!
3 ✓

Add the chicken cubes and sauté until opaque.

Tip: No need to brown it deeply, just cook until the surface proteins coagulate to keep the meat juicy.
4 ✓

Pour in the broth, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is completely tender.

Tip: The chicken is ready when it can be easily mashed with a fork.
5 ✓

Remove from heat and blend until completely smooth using an immersion blender.

Tip: Be patient: blend until you get a completely homogeneous, silky cream. The meat fibers should disappear.
6 ✓

Stir in the heavy cream and warm through (do not boil).

Tip: Serve with croutons for a crunchy contrast.

Recipe FAQ

Will the garlic be too strong?
During cooking, the sharpness of the garlic (allicin) breaks down, leaving only a sweet aroma. As long as you don't burn it while sautéing, it will be pleasant.
What is the texture of blended chicken?
If blended thoroughly, it gives the soup a thick, pâté-like richness. If you dislike this texture, remove the cooked chicken before blending and return it as chunks later.
