- Whisk often until it comes to a boil and has thickened.
- Turn down heat to a low simmer.
- Add the chicken, potatoes, and vegetables. Let simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Add the heavy cream. If soup is still too thick, add a little more milk.
- Taste to see if more chicken soup base or salt and pepper is needed.
- Serve with fresh chopped parsley on top.
- To make the crust on top, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
