Ingredients
- Chicken (cooked and shredded or diced)
- Olive oil or butter
- Onion
- Garlic
- Carrots
- Celery
- Potatoes (optional)
- Chicken broth
- Heavy cream or half-and-half
- Flour (for thickening)
- Dried thyme
- Dried rosemary
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Frozen peas
- Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes (if using) into bite-sized pieces. Set aside the frozen peas.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and the onion is translucent.
- Add Garlic and Seasonings: Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper, coating the vegetables.
- Make the Roux: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the oil or butter.
- Add Broth and Cream: Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add heavy cream or half-and-half and bring to a simmer for 10-15 minutes until it thickens.
- Add Chicken and Peas: Stir in the chicken and peas. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is heated and the peas are tender.
- Adjust Seasonings and Serve: Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Serve hot, garnished with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken for added convenience.
- Add more vegetables like green beans or corn to suit your preferences.
- For a thicker soup, make a slurry by combining flour and water, then add it to the soup and simmer until thickened.
- To make it in a slow cooker, sauté the vegetables and combine everything in the slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, adding cream and chicken in the last 30 minutes.
