Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, garlic, and bacon. Cook and stir until chicken is browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 2
Add stock and white wine. Lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a plate. Strain liquid into a bowl and separate onion and bacon.
Step 3
Return onion and bacon to the pot. Add butter and melt over medium heat. When butter bubbles, whisk in flour. Cook and stir until flour takes on a little color, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in reserved chicken stock. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 4
While the soup is simmering, shred chicken with your hands.
Step 5
Remove soup from the heat and puree with an immersion blender until smooth. Whisk in cream. Stir in chicken.
