Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or neutral oil)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 pound cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil: Place a large pot over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Sweat the aromatics: Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add chicken and broth: Stir in the shredded chicken, 4 cups chicken broth, frozen peas, thyme, and rosemary. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Make the cream slurry: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup flour and 1 cup heavy cream (or milk) until completely smooth with no lumps.
- Thicken the soup: Slowly pour the cream-flour mixture into the pot while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Keep the soup at a simmer.
- Finish cooking: Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens and the vegetables are tender. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve: Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
Substitute Greek yogurt thinned with milk as a lower-fat swap for cream. For a gluten-free thickener, use cornstarch slurry (1–2 tbsp cornstarch + cold water).
