1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Prep the Ingredients: Begin by dicing your onion, carrots, and potatoes. Shred your cooked chicken if you haven’t done so already.
Sauté Vegetables: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Then add the carrots and potatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add Chicken and Broth: Stir in the shredded chicken, followed by the chicken broth. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer.
Incorporate Cream and Thicken: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream. Stir continuously until the soup is thick and heated through.
Add Peas and Season: Mix in the frozen peas and season with thyme, salt, and pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for another 5 minutes.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh thyme if desired, and enjoy your warm, comforting chicken pot pie soup!
