Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie chicken works great)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 sheet puff pastry or pie crust (optional for topping)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery, then sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Stir in shredded cooked chicken, dried thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors.
- Stir in heavy cream and frozen peas. Continue simmering until peas are heated through.
- Optionally, cut puff pastry into strips and toast until golden for a flaky topping. Garnish the soup with pastry strips for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with water) and simmer until thickened.
- You can substitute heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- Use cooked rotisserie chicken for quick preparation.
- To make it extra hearty, add diced potatoes or extra vegetables.
