  • Yield

    Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 large leeks (white and pale green parts only), halved lengthwise, sliced crosswise
2 large carrots, peeled, sliced
2 medium russet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons dried
2 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary or 1 3/4 teaspoons dried
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 3/4 cups (or more) canned low-salt chicken broth
1 10 3/4-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 cups diced cooked chicken

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add leeks, carrots, potatoes, herbs and garlic. Sauté until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add 1 3/4 cups broth; bring to boil. Cover pot, reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.

    Step 2

    Mix condensed soup and cream into vegetables. Add chicken. Simmer until heated through, thinning with additional broth by 1/4 cupfuls, if desired about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
