This is just like mom's comforting chicken noodle soup, but it's even creamier and loaded with cheesy goodness!

Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add onion, carrots and celery.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in thyme until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in potatoes.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 12-15 minutes.
Stir in chicken and cheese, a handful at a time, until smooth, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. If the chowder is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
