Ingredients

Scale

Soup Base

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Broth and Seasoning

  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Cream Mixture

  • 1 cup heavy cream or milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Heat Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes. This step builds the aromatic foundation of the soup.
  2. Add Chicken and Broth: Stir in the shredded chicken, chicken broth, peas, dried thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Prepare Cream Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and heavy cream until smooth. This mixture will thicken the soup and give it a creamy consistency.
  4. Thicken Soup: Gradually add the cream and flour mixture to the simmering soup, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the soup thickens.
  5. Season and Garnish: Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness and color.

Notes

  • You can substitute milk for heavy cream for a lighter soup, but the texture will be less rich.
  • Use cooked shredded chicken from a rotisserie or leftover chicken to save time.
  • For a gluten-free option, replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or cornstarch slurry.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, increase the flour by one tablespoon.
  • This soup reheats well and makes great leftovers for the next day.
