Ingredients:

• For the Soup:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (you can use leftover rotisserie chicken)
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
• For Thickening (Roux):
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
   • Warm the olive oil in a big pot over medium heat. Then, mix in the chopped onions, minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Cook the Soup:
   • Add the frozen peas, corn, and cubed potatoes to the pot. Stir in the cooked chicken and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
3. Season the Soup:
   • Add the dried thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper to the pot. Let the soup simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
4. Make the Roux:
   • In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden brown.
5. Thicken the Soup:
   • Gradually whisk the milk into the roux until smooth. Pour this mixture into the simmering soup, stirring constantly until the soup thickens. This should take about 5 minutes.
6. Final Adjustments:
   • Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. If the soup is too thick, you can thin it with a little more chicken broth or milk.
7. Serve:
   • Ladle the soup into bowls. For an extra touch, serve with a sprinkle of chopped parsley on top or a side of crusty bread for dipping.

This Chicken Pot Pie Soup brings all the cozy flavors of the traditional pie in a bowl, making it a comforting and satisfying meal for any day of the week. Enjoy your homemade soup!
