3. Stir in garlic and cook 1 minute more.

2️⃣ Make the Roux

1. Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw taste.

2. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, then add milk and heavy cream.

3. Bring to a simmer and cook 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.

3️⃣ Add the Good Stuff

1. Stir in shredded chicken, peas, thyme, salt, and pepper.

2. Simmer another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy

• Ladle into bowls and top with baked pie crust pieces, puff pastry, or biscuit crumbles.

• Add an extra sprinkle of black pepper for that cozy, classic finish.

Tips & Variations

• Veggie Boost: Add diced potatoes or mushrooms with the carrots and celery.

• Herb Upgrade: Swap thyme for fresh parsley, rosemary, or a poultry seasoning blend.

• Gluten-Free: Use GF flour blend for the roux and skip the crust (or use GF biscuits).

• Thicker Soup: Simmer a few extra minutes, or add an extra tablespoon of flour at the start.

If you want, I can also give you a slow cooker version of this recipe so you can toss it together in the morning and have it ready for dinner with minimal work. That version turns out extra tender and rich. Would you like me to make it?
