- 3 carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 cup milk
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: serve with biscuits or puff pastry on the side
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in butter and flour, cooking for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth, whisking until smooth.
- Add shredded chicken, peas, corn, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- Pour in cream and milk, stirring well. Continue simmering for 5–7 minutes until thickened and creamy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with warm biscuits or puff pastry for the full pot pie experience.
Notes
- For a thicker soup, simmer longer or mash some of the vegetables to thicken.
- To lighten, use half-and-half or 1% milk in place of heavy cream.
- Leftovers refrigerate well; reheat gently to avoid curdling.
- Best served with warm biscuits or puff pastry on the side.
- To make gluten-free, substitute gluten-free flour or use a cornstarch slurry.
