Method
- To the slow cooker, add chicken, potatoes, celery, onion, garlic, and the frozen vegetables. Set aside.
- Make the sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and whisk together gently to form a paste. Add 1 cup chicken broth. Whisk until smooth then add the remaining 2 cups of broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer.
- Continue to cook until slightly thickened, 4-6 minutes, whisking often. Remove the skillet from the heat, and stir in the thyme, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and rosemary.
- Pour the thick sauce mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Using a spatula, gently toss everything together.
- Cover and cook on the low setting for 6-7 hours or on the high setting for 4-5 hours.
- Just before serving, remove the lid and allow the soup mixture to stop simmering. Stir in the cream. If desired, add additional broth to reach desired thinness/thickness. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the soup in bowls with Homemade Biscuits on top. Garnish with fresh parsley or fresh thyme, if desired.

Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with mushrooms or other plant-based proteins. Adjust the thickness of the soup by adding more broth as needed.
