Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 cup onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 cup celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 0.5 cup frozen peas
  • 0.5 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp salt adjust to taste

Method
 

Steps
  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  4. Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  5. Add milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in cooked chicken and frozen peas. Simmer for another 5–7 minutes until heated through and soup is slightly thickened.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve warm, optionally with crusty bread or biscuits.

Notes

For extra richness, substitute half-and-half for milk. To make it gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days.
