Steps to Make It

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Let it warm up for a minute until it shimmers, then add the diced onion. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  2. Next, toss in the diced carrots and celery. Stir them around and cook for another 5 minutes, letting those veggies soften and fill your kitchen with a lovely aroma.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. You’ll know it’s ready when the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
  4. Now, add the chicken breasts to the pot along with the chicken broth. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  5. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken back to the pot and stir in the heavy cream.
  6. Finally, add the frozen peas, corn, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, until heated through. The soup should be creamy and comforting!

Make It Perfect

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine when sautéing the veggies.
  • If you like a thicker soup, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it in during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • Don’t skip the fresh herbs; they really elevate the flavor.
  • Serve with crusty bread for dipping – it’s a game changer!
  • Feel free to add any leftover veggies you have on hand.

Mix It Up

  • Add some diced potatoes for extra heartiness.
  • Spice it up with a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
  • For a creamy twist, stir in some cream cheese before serving.

Perfect Partners
