Chop the carrots, celery, onion, potatoes and garlic. Set aside. Next, cut the chicken into 1″ cubes. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken, stirring until it is lightly colored on all sides (it will finish cooking in the liquids). Add a little salt to season. Next, add the chicken stock, wine, marjoram, bay leaf and all of your veggies into the mixture.
Stir to incorporate. Bring the entire mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover the mixture and allow it to simmer for 25-30 minutes or until veggies are tender.
Meanwhile, make the slurry
Mix together the lite sour cream and flour. Add approximately 1/2 to 1 cup of the hot broth into the sour cream mixture, mixing to incorporate. This is your slurry – which acts to thicken the soup into a stew consistency, and adds amazing flavor.
Raise the heat to high, pour the slurry mixture back into the pan, stirring constantly until well incorporated and the mixture is thicker. Adjust seasonings to taste. Let it sit a few minutes – it’s hot! Dish into bowls and enjoy! To store, place in an airtight container and place in the fridge.
Delicious to have on hand for healthy pre-party lite dinner or lunches!
