Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or cubed
 - 3 tbsp butter
 - 1 medium onion, finely chopped
 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
 - 2 carrots, diced
 - 2 celery stalks, diced
 - 1 cup frozen peas
 - 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
 - 4 cups chicken broth
 - 1 cup whole milk or heavy cream
 - 1 tsp fresh thyme or 1/2 tsp dried thyme
 - Salt and black pepper to taste
 - Optional: puff pastry croutons or biscuits for serving
 
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5–6 minutes.
 - Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
 - Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux.
 - Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form.
 - Add potatoes and thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10–12 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
 - Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
 - Pour in milk or cream, stir well, and let the soup simmer gently for another 3–5 minutes.
 - Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
 - Serve warm with puff pastry croutons or biscuits for a comforting pot pie touch.
 
Notes
- Replace potatoes with cauliflower for a low-carb version.
 - Use coconut milk or almond milk for a dairy-free option.
 - Add corn, green beans, or mushrooms for extra vegetables.
 - Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
 - Freeze leftovers for up to 3 months in freezer-safe containers.
