Chicken breasts Olive oil Onion Garlic Carrot Celery Potato Frozen peas Chicken broth Heavy cream Dried thyme Dried rosemary

Recipe Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 large potato, peeled and diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 4 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1 Step
    Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned on both sides. Remove the chicken and set it aside to cool slightly.
  2. 2 Step
    In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and potato. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. 3 Step
    Pour in the chicken broth, add thyme and rosemary, and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. 4 Step
    While the soup is coming to a boil, shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
  5. 5 Step
    Add the shredded chicken back into the pot along with the frozen peas. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
  6. 6 Step
    Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes. If you prefer a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a bit of cold water and stir it into the soup. Let it cook for a few more minutes until the soup thickens to your desired consistency.
  7. 7 Step
    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  8. 8 Step
    Optional Add-ins: Spinach: Stir in some fresh spinach or kale towards the end for added greens. Cheese: Top with shredded cheese for extra creaminess.
