Ingredients

    3 large green onions
    3 large stalks celery
    1 stick butter
    3 cups cubed cooked chicken (Leftovers from roasting a bird would be great!
    8 cups chicken broth (more or less will make it more or less stew like)
    1 cup white wine
    Salt and Pepper to taste
    garlic or garlic powder
    Oregano
    Thyme
    Basil
    (other herbs and spices to your liking!)

Directions

Melt the butter in a large soup pot. Do not brown. (Medium Low heat)

add the onions and celery, saute til soft

Add any spices

Add chicken cubes

Add wine and broth

Simmer, reduce heat to low. I left mine for an hour or so, but cooking longer will help all the flavors meld and reduce the broth a bit more.

In the last 15 minutes, add the heavy whipping cream. Adjust spices to taste.

Serve and enjoy!
