2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup frozen peas
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and celery, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well. Cook for another minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Allow to cook for about 5-7 minutes until the peas are heated through.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
If you prefer a thicker soup, mix a cornstarch slurry and add it to the soup at this stage until you’ve reached your desired thickness.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
