Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons olive oil
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 low sodium chicken broth
1 cup half-and-half or whole milk
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen corn
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: 4 biscuits, baked, for topping
Instructions
Heat the olive oil 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 dried thyme and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the broth thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the half-and-half or milk. Do not let the soup boil after adding the dairy.
Add the shredded cooked chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Heat through for about 5 minutes.
Season the soup with salt and pepper to your preference.
Serve hot, optionally topping each bowl with a warm baked biscuit.
Notes
You can use rotisserie chicken for quick shredded chicken.
For a richer flavor, substitute 1 cup of the broth with 1 cup of reserved chicken cooking liquid.
If you prefer a thicker soup, simmer for a few extra minutes or add 1 teaspoon of cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon of cold water during step 4.
