Method
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the diced onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the shredded chicken, chicken broth, peas, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and heavy cream until smooth.
- Gradually add the cream mixture to the pot, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Simmer for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the soup thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
Notes
Can substitute chicken with turkey for a festive twist. Use vegetable broth and chickpeas for vegetarian version. For lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or plant-based milk. Consider roasting vegetables before adding for deeper flavor.
