Instructions

Begin by melting butter or ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they’re translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Toss in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and diced celery. Stir them together and cook for another 5-6 minutes.
Once those veggies have softened, stir in the peas and shredded chicken. Mix everything well.
Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream (or coconut milk). Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Bring this mixture to a gentle boil.
If you prefer a thicker consistency, take one tablespoon of flour and mix it with a small amount of broth in a separate bowl to create a slurry. Slowly pour this back into the soup, stirring well to combine.
Finish by simmering until the soup thickens slightly and the flavors meld together. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Once it’s done, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Feel free to substitute chicken with turkey, lentils, or vegetables for a vegetarian option. This soup can be frozen for 2-3 months.
