Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb cooked chicken, shredded (substitute with ground or diced chicken)
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup chopped celery
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 sheets puff pastry or pie crusts (optional for toppings)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Start by gathering all ingredients to streamline your cooking process. Shred cooked chicken, chop vegetables, and set aside.
- In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onions, carrots, and celery until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and cook for 1-2 minutes while stirring. Gradually add chicken broth, stirring continuously to prevent lumps, and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in shredded chicken, dried thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream or half-and-half. Add frozen peas and cook for another 5 minutes.
- (Optional) Prepare puff pastry or pie crust squares, bake until crispy, and top the soup before serving for a pie-like presentation.
Notes
- For added flavor, use cooked rotisserie chicken or leftovers.
- Adjust seasonings to taste, including herbs or additional seasoning blends.
- If thicker soup is desired, mix a little flour or cornstarch with cold water and stir in until thickened.
