Cream of Chicken Soup

Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes
Serves: 4

• 2 lbs. bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 1 tsp. Our Family® Kosher Salt
• 1/2 tsp. Our Family® Ground Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp. Our Family® Olive Oil
• 1 yellow onion, minced
• 1/4 cup Our Family® Flour
• 2 cups Our Family® Milk
• 3 cups Our Family® Chicken Stock
• 2 tbsp. chopped fresh thyme
• 1/4 cup Our Family® Heavy Cream

1. Season chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken, skin-side-down, and let cook for 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 170°F, flipping halfway through. Transfer chicken to a plate and let cool.
2. Remove all but 3 tablespoons of fat from the pan. Add onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over and cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and chicken stock. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Add thyme and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered.
3. Shred cooked chicken into bite-size pieces, discarding any skin or bone. Stir chicken into soup and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and season, to taste, with additional salt and pepper.
