Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen potato tots

  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 cup chopped carrot

  • 1 cup chopped parsnip

  • ½ cup chopped celery

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth

  • 3 cups diced cooked chicken or turkey

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram

  • ½ teaspoon dried sage

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • ½ cup half-and-half

  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. Place potato tots on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden and crispy, 20 to 25 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrot, parsnip, celery and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in broth, chicken (or turkey), garlic powder, onion powder, marjoram and sage. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in peas and half-and-half.

  4. Arrange the potato tots over the surface of the soup. Serve topped with parsley.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
