Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp Butter
  • 1 medium Onion (diced)
  • 2 large Carrots (diced)
  • 2 stalks Celery (diced)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1/3 cup All-purpose flour
  • 4 cups Chicken broth
  • 1.5 cups Milk (or half-and-half)
  • 3 cups Cooked chicken (shredded)
  • 1 cup Frozen peas
  • 1.5 cups Potatoes (diced)
  • 1 tsp Dried thyme
  • To taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 sheet, baked & crumbled Pie crust (for garnish, optional)

Equipment

  • Large pot or Dutch oven
  • wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups/spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté for 5–6 minutes until softened.
  2. Make Roux: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1–2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  3. Add Liquids: Gradually whisk in chicken broth and milk until smooth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Simmer: Add diced potatoes (if using), thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook for 10–12 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  5. Add Chicken & Peas: Stir in shredded chicken and frozen peas. Simmer for 5 more minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Optional Garnish: Serve topped with crumbled pie crust or flaky biscuits for a true "pot pie" experience.

Notes

  • Vegetable Variations: Add corn or green beans for extra texture.
  • Creamier Soup: Substitute half the milk with heavy cream.
  • Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free flour and thicken with cornstarch if needed.
  • Storage: Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for 1 month. Reheat with a splash of broth to thin if needed.
