Ingredients

Scale

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 carrots, peeled and diced

3 celery stalks, diced

1 cup frozen peas

4 cups chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 1/2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (optional for convenience)

1/2 cup frozen corn kernels (optional)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the carrots and celery, stirring occasionally until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 1 minute to make a roux.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the cream, thyme, salt, and pepper, then bring the soup to a simmer.
Stir in the peas, corn, and shredded rotisserie chicken (if using). Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the soup thickens.
Once the soup has thickened, taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
If you want a more pie-like texture, serve the soup with a puff pastry topping or biscuit on the side.
You can also add any leftover vegetables or herbs to customize the soup according to your taste.
The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
