Chicken and Vegetable Stew

Ingredients

• 3-4 cups shredded chicken (I used the leftovers from a roasted chicken)
• 5 large carrots
• 2 celery stalks
• 1/2 large purple onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 russet potatoes
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 can golden hominy corn
• 8 cups water
• 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. salt
• 1 tsp. black pepper
• 1 Tbsp. dried dill
• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

Directions

Chop the carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté in olive oil on medium heat in a large soup pot for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Add water and bring to a simmer. Peel and chop potatoes into bite sized pieces and add to pot.

Bring to a low boil and cook until the potatoes are soft. Add the chicken and bring back to a low boil.

Add the frozen peas, dill, and heavy cream. Bring to a low boil for another 5 minutes. Adjust for seasoning and enjoy!
