Instructions

Start by heating the olive oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, carrots, and celery, and sauté for another 5 minutes until vegetables soften.
Add the shredded cooked chicken to the pot. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes to meld flavors.
For thickening, whisk in flour or create a slurry by blending some hot soup with flour, then stir back in. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in heavy cream or half-and-half and frozen peas. Continue cooking for 5 minutes until the soup is creamy and heated through. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. For a flaky topping, add puff pastry or pie crust and bake until golden.

Notes

Use leftover cooked chicken to save time and enhance flavor.
Add extra flour or mash some vegetables for a thicker soup.
Sauté diced bacon or pancetta with vegetables for more flavor.
Customize with vegetables like green beans or corn.
Experiment with herbs such as rosemary or basil for different flavors.
