1 small onion chopped
1/2 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
3 stalks celery, optional
20 medium mushrooms, optional (I use less, just 1 box of buttom mushrooms)
1/2 lb. butter
1 cup flour
1 1/2 quarts chicken stock
2 lb. cooked chicken (1 to 2 lbs. is ok)
1 cup sour cream
1 t. curry powder
salt and pepper to taste
I stew the chicken and make my own broth before starting the recipe, but you could use already cooked chicken and canned chicken broth.
In a thick bottom pot, saute onion, carrot, celery, and mushrooms in butter on medium heat until desired doneness.
Lower heat and add flour. Stir the roux constantly for about 2 minutes.
Add chicken stock and whisk to incorporate roux completely.
Add the chicken meat, sour cream (I add the warm soup to the cream to temper it, but I don't know if it is necessary), curry powder, and salt and pepper.
Simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally
Optional:
Add pads of butter until desired taste
Add milk if you want to change consistency
I sometimes add at the end, frozen corn and peas for a little bit of a change
