Ingredients

6 tablespoons (84g) butter
1 medium onion, diced
1 stalk celery, sliced
2 teaspoons (2g) fresh thyme, minced
2 teaspoons (10g) garlic, minced
2 medium carrots, sliced (about 1-1¼ cup)
⅓ cup (40g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (240ml) half and half (or ½ cup (120ml) milk and ½ cup (120ml) heavy cream)
4 cups (950ml) chicken broth
4-5 cups (750-900g) cooked chicken, cut into chunks
1 cup (160g) frozen peas
1 teaspoon (5g) Creole seasoning
1 tablespoon (3-4g) fresh parsley, minced
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat butter or oil in a large pot over medium heat. Then add onions, celery, thyme, garlic, and carrots. Cook, stirring, for 6-7 minutes or until tender.
Stir in flour until fully incorporated, stirring for about a minute. Gradually stir in the half-and-half and broth.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Simmer while stirring for about 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbling.
Gradually add the cooked chicken, peas, Creole seasoning, and parsley. Remove from heat.
Adjust consistency with more broth or water and the taste with salt, pepper, and seasonings.

Notes

Stir the flour into the butter and sauteed veggies. If you add it later, after pouring in the broth and half and half, it tends to clump.
If the soup is too thick, you can just add more broth, but if it's too thin for your taste, then add a little cornstarch slurry and stir until it thickens up more.
This recipe is excellent in a Dutch oven. These large pots conduct heat well on the stovetop and oven. And a good one will last forever.
