Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 medium carrots sliced
  • 2 celery stalks sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  3. Add the dried thyme, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  5. Stir in the shredded chicken and heavy cream. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the soup to thicken slightly.
  6. Add the frozen peas and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
