  • Author: Ashley
  • Total Time: 6 hours

Ingredients

Scale

For the Soup Base:

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts: The main protein source, tender and flavorful.
  • 4 cups chicken broth: Adds depth and richness to the soup.
  • 1 medium onion, diced: For aromatic flavor.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced: Brings warmth and depth to the dish.
  • 3 medium carrots, diced: Adds sweetness and color.
  • 2 celery stalks, diced: For crunch and flavor.
  • 1 cup frozen peas: A pop of sweetness and color.
  • 2 medium potatoes, diced: Provides heartiness and substance.
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme: Essential for that classic pot pie flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary: Adds a fragrant, woodsy note.
  • Salt and pepper to taste: For seasoning.

For the Creamy Finish:

  • 1 cup heavy cream: For a rich, velvety texture.
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour: To thicken the soup (you can substitute with cornstarch for a gluten-free option).
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard: Adds a subtle tanginess that brightens the soup.

For Serving (Optional):

  • Fresh parsley, chopped: For garnish.
  • Biscuits or crusty bread: Perfect for dipping!

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  • Start by chopping your vegetables: dice the onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes. Mince the garlic.
  • If your chicken breasts are particularly thick, consider cutting them into smaller pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients in the Slow Cooker

  • In your slow cooker, add the chicken breasts, chicken broth, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, peas, potatoes, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper.
  • Give everything a good stir to combine, ensuring the chicken is submerged in the broth.

Step 3: Slow Cook

  • Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 5-6 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  • You want the chicken to be cooked through and tender enough to shred easily.

Step 4: Shred the Chicken

  • Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the chicken from the slow cooker using tongs.
  • Shred the chicken using two forks, then return it to the slow cooker. This step adds the shredded chicken back into the soup, distributing it evenly.

Step 5: Create the Creamy Finish

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, flour, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  • Gradually add this mixture to the slow cooker, stirring to combine. This will give your soup that rich, creamy texture.

Step 6: Cook Again

  • Cover the slow cooker and let the soup cook on high for an additional 30 minutes. This allows the soup to thicken and the flavors to meld beautifully.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

  • Once the soup is ready, give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve with warm biscuits or crusty bread.
