1 cup chopped yellow onion 

1 cup diced carrots 

1 cup diced celery 

7 Tbsp butter, diced

4 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1/4 tsp of each dried thyme, marjoram, sage and rosemary 

Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts halves

1/2 cup all-purpose flour






1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

Halfway through the rice cooking, in a separate large pot, melt 1 Tbsp

 butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and celery and saute 4 

minutes, add garlic and saute 30 seconds longer.

Add chicken broth, thyme, marjoram, sage, rosemary and season with

then shred into small bite size pieces. Leave soup covered over warm 

heat.

Meanwhile in a separate medium saucepan, melt remaining 6 Tbsp

Then while whisking vigorously, slowly pour milk into butter/flour 

mixture. Whisk in heavy cream. Cook mixture, stirring constantly until 

it thickens.
