Method
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat and sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened and lightly golden.
- Stir in garlic and cook briefly until fragrant without browning.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir continuously to form a light roux.
- Slowly pour in chicken broth while stirring to create a smooth, thick base.
- Add cooked chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper, then gently simmer until flavors combine.
- Stir in milk or half-and-half and simmer gently until the soup becomes creamy.
- Remove from heat, rest briefly, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
• Use rotisserie chicken for deeper flavor and faster prep.
• Simmer gently to keep the soup creamy and prevent separation.
• Adjust thickness with extra broth or milk as needed.
• Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
• Reheat slowly on the stovetop for best texture.
