Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breasts or thighs

Vegetables

  • 2 medium carrots, finely chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Liquids and Dairy

  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Thickener

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour/cornstarch for gluten-free)

Herbs and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Chop carrots, celery, and onions finely. Shred cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and mince garlic so everything is ready before cooking.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and slightly sweet. Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Make the Roux: Sprinkle flour over the softened vegetables, stirring constantly to coat them evenly. Cook for 2 minutes to eliminate raw flour taste and thicken the base.
  4. Pour in Broth and Simmer: Gradually whisk in chicken broth, stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the soup thickens.
  5. Add Chicken and Veggies: Stir in shredded chicken and frozen peas. Allow the mixture to heat through so flavors meld.
  6. Finish with Cream and Herbs: Pour in heavy cream, season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Cook a few more minutes on low heat without boiling. Stir in fresh parsley just before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save prep time and add extra flavor.
  • Don’t skip the roux for that signature creamy texture.
  • Simmer gently to develop deeper flavors without breaking down ingredients.
  • Add fresh herbs at the end to keep their aroma bright.
  • Adjust soup thickness with extra broth or water as desired.
