Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion , diced
- 2 medium carrots , peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks , diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper , to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- Optional garnish: Biscuit crumbles, puff pastry crisps, or pie crust pieces
Instructions
1️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables:
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
2️⃣ Make the Roux:
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until evenly coated. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
3️⃣ Add the Broth:
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently until it thickens slightly.
4️⃣ Add Cream and Seasonings:
Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Add thyme, parsley, poultry seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper to taste. Let the soup simmer for 5-10 minutes.
5️⃣ Add Chicken and Peas:
Stir in the cooked chicken and frozen peas. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until everything is heated through.
6️⃣ Serve:
Ladle the soup into bowls and top with biscuit crumbles, puff pastry crisps, or pie crust pieces for that classic pot pie crunch. Enjoy warm!
Tips for Success
- Make It Gluten-Free: Substitute the flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend.
- Add More Veggies: Feel free to include diced potatoes, green beans, or corn for added heartiness.
- Save Time: Use rotisserie chicken and pre-chopped frozen vegetables for a quicker version.
