Ingredients:

• 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 medium potatoes, cubed
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup corn kernels (optional)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Place the chicken, carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, broth, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper into your crockpot. Stir to combine.
2. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
3. Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks, then return it to the pot.
4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter and whisk in the flour to form a roux. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth.
5. Stir the creamy mixture into the crockpot along with the peas (and corn, if using).
6. Cook on high for an additional 20–30 minutes, or until the soup thickens beautifully.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Pro Tips for Success

• Dice your veggies evenly so they cook uniformly.
• For extra flavor, sauté onions and garlic before adding to the crockpot.
• Use chicken thighs for a richer, juicier texture.
• If you prefer a thicker soup, mash a few potatoes directly in the pot before adding the cream mixture.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or milk to restore creaminess.

5 Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Overcooking the chicken: Leaving the chicken in the crockpot too long can make it dry and stringy. Stick to the recommended time and shred it just when tender.
2. Skipping the roux: The butter-flour mixture is what gives the soup its signature creamy texture. Without it, your soup may turn out thin and watery.
3. Adding dairy too early: Heavy cream or milk should go in at the end, after the chicken is cooked, to prevent curdling.
4. Not seasoning in layers: Add a little salt and herbs early, then adjust before serving for full-bodied flavor.
5. Crowding the crockpot: Overfilling the pot can cause uneven cooking. Leave at least an inch of space from the top for proper heat circulation.

4 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use frozen chicken in this recipe?
Yes, but it’s best to thaw the chicken first for even cooking. If using frozen, add about 30 extra minutes to the cook time.

2. How can I make this soup dairy-free?
Swap the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk or an unsweetened oat cream — it will still be rich and delicious.

3. Can I make this recipe on the stovetop instead?
Absolutely! Just simmer everything in a large pot for 25–30 minutes, shred the chicken, then stir in the cream mixture at the end.

4. How do I thicken the soup without flour?
You can blend a portion of the cooked potatoes or mix in cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water) near the end of cooking for a gluten-free option.
