Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken, diced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup diced potatoes
• ½ teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Directions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Dice 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1 medium onion, and 2 cloves of garlic. Cut 2 cups of cooked chicken into bite-sized chunks.
2. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
3. Make the Base: Sprinkle 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the vegetables and stir for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form.
4. Add Creaminess: Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and stir until the soup is smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
5. Add Chicken and Vegetables: Add the cooked chicken, 1 cup frozen peas, and 1 cup diced potatoes. Simmer for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender and soup is slightly thickened.
6. Season: Season with salt, pepper, and ½ teaspoon dried thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
7. Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve with warm bread or biscuits for a complete meal.
