Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion. Cook 7–10 minutes until tender and onion is translucent.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir continuously for 2–3 minutes to form a roux.
- Slowly stir in chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then add bouillon and black pepper.
- Submerge chicken breasts in the broth. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes until fully cooked (165°F). Remove and shred.

- Whisk cream of chicken soup with water or milk. Stir into the pot until creamy and combined. Adjust salt and pepper.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
