Instructions
Preparations
Dice onion and carrots into small pieces.
Mince garlic.
Shred rotisserie chicken or chop it into pieces.
Cooking instructions
Set a large pot over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of oil. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and cook for 2 minutes until translucent.
Add diced carrots and cook for 1 minute to soften.
Next, melt butter in the pot, then add the flour and mix thoroughly until incorporated. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon for 1 minute.
Add chicken broth, mixing until the flour mixture is thoroughly incorporated.
Pour in the milk, stirring until it becomes incorporated and slightly thickened.
Add salt, seasonings, shredded chicken, and peas.
Turn the chicken soup to medium-low heat and continue cooking for 4 to 5 minutes.
Stir constantly while the soup simmers, as it will thicken as it heats.
Once thickened, add more salt and pepper to taste and remove the pot from the heat.
Ladle into bowls and serve homemade cream of chicken soup garnished with croutons and fresh thyme if desired.
Recipe Notes
ConsistencyIf you find that your cream of chicken soup is too thick, add more milk or your own chicken broth until it reaches the desired consistency.
