- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup milk or half-and-half
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the thyme and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Whisk in the flour until it forms a paste (roux) with the vegetables and butter. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring no lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
- Stir in the milk or half-and-half. Heat through but do not boil.
- Add the shredded chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Cook until the vegetables are heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve hot, optionally topped with biscuits or croutons.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of milk.
- You can substitute rotisserie chicken for cooked shredded chicken to save time.
- Serve this soup with warm biscuits or puff pastry croutons to mimic the pot pie crust experience.
- For a thicker soup, simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes before adding the chicken and frozen vegetables.
