  3. Add diced potatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
  4. Stir in shredded chicken and milk. Heat through for another 5 minutes, ensuring it doesn't boil.

For a creamier soup, mash some of the potatoes against the side of the pot before adding the milk. You can also add other vegetables like corn or peas.
