Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by cutting the boneless skinless chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniformity for even cooking. Dice the yellow onion finely, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Finally, dice the celery into ¼-inch pieces.
- Mix the Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, paprika, black pepper, and dried rosemary. Mixing these herbs and spices together will blend their flavors.
- Make the Roux: In a medium saucepan, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, cooking until thickened.
- Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker: After thickening the roux, stir in the prepared spice mixture. Transfer the sauce to a slow cooker and add the chicken pieces, chopped potatoes, diced celery, onion, minced garlic, and frozen mixed vegetables. Gently stir.
- Cook the Soup: Cover the slow cooker and set it to cook on low for 6-7 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
- Finish with Cream and Garnish: Once the Soup is cooked, stir in the heavy cream, adjusting the seasoning to taste. Sprinkle in some fresh parsley and thyme.

Notes
Add the heavy cream only after cooking to prevent curdling. Cut chicken and potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking. Avoid lifting the lid while cooking.
