Protein
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
Vegetables
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
Liquids & Dairy
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter (assumed for sautéing)
Seasonings & Thickener
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Prep Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Dice chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, chop onion, dice carrots and celery uniformly, and mince garlic cloves to ensure even cooking.
- Sauté Onions: Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes, to build the flavor base.
- Cook Carrots and Celery: Add diced carrots and celery to the pot and cook until they begin to soften, approximately 5 minutes.
- Add Chicken and Garlic: Stir in diced chicken and minced garlic. Cook the mixture for 5-7 minutes until the chicken pieces are no longer pink, stirring frequently to ensure even cooking.
- Thicken Soup: Sprinkle flour evenly over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens.
- Add Cream and Seasoning: Stir in heavy cream, then season the soup with dried thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow the soup to heat through.
- Finish with Peas: Add frozen peas just before serving to retain their color and texture. Heat through for 1-2 minutes and then serve warm.
Notes
- Use low-sodium chicken broth to better control the saltiness of the soup.
- For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk, but the soup will be less creamy.
- Make sure to add the flour slowly and stir continuously to avoid lumps while thickening.
- Fresh peas can be used in place of frozen peas if available.
- This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
