1 medium onion diced

3 garlic cloves minced

2 medium carrots diced

2 stalks celery diced

1 cup peas

2 medium potatoes peeled and diced

5 cups chicken broth

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon fresh thyme

1 bay leaf

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Melt butter in a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat and add diced onion, carrots, and celery; cook until onions are translucent and vegetables are softened.

2. Stir in minced garlic, fresh thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper and cook for about one minute until fragrant.

3. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir constantly to coat evenly and form a roux, avoiding lumps or scorching.

4. Slowly whisk in warm chicken broth a little at a time until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.

5. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes to deepen the flavors.

6. Lower heat and stir in heavy cream, heating gently without boiling to maintain a silky texture.

7. Add shredded chicken and peas, simmer for five minutes until heated through.

8. Prepare pastry pieces by brushing puff pastry squares or biscuits with butter and baking until golden.

9. Ladle soup into bowls, top with baked pastry pieces, and garnish with chopped parsley.
