Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 1/2 pounds yukon gold or russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 1/2 cups diced carrots
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • Fresh black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 1 1/2 cups 2% or whole milk
  • 3 cups cooked, diced chicken
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package store bought pie crust

Instructions

  1. Add the butter to a soup pot or 5 quart dutch oven. Once the butter is melted, add the onions, potatoes, carrots and thyme and cook for 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  2. Sprinkle in the flour, salt and pepper, and then stir to mix in with the vegetables. Cook for 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock and milk, stirring to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot, and then bring to simmer.
  3. Add the chicken and peas to the soup, then down the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring often.
  4. While the soup is cooking, bake the pie crust by placing a round of pie crust on a baking sheet. Bake according to the package directions for 1 pie crust. Let cool and break into bite sized pieces. See note*
  5. After the soup has cooked for 20 minutes, stir the cream into the soup. Remove the thyme stems, taste for seasonings and serve with pie crust pieces on top.
