Making your Chicken Pot Pie Soup is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil.
2. Sauté Vegetables: Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
3. Add Chicken: Stir in the cooked chicken, then mix well to combine the flavors.
4. Pour in Broth: Add the chicken broth to the pot and bring it to a gentle boil.
5. Season: Stir in the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. You can adjust seasonings to your preference.
6. Creamy Base: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to simmer for 5-10 minutes until everything is well heated.
7. Add Peas: Stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
8. Thicken (Optional): If you prefer a thicker soup, mix ¼ cup of all-purpose flour with a bit of cold water to create a slurry and add it to the soup. Stir until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
