Ingredients
  

5 lbs (about 680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 medium onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced

2 ribs celery, finely chopped

4 cups (960ml) chicken broth (preferably low sodium)

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

1 cup frozen peas

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion, minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Sauté the mixture for approximately 5 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften and the onion becomes translucent.

    Prepare the Chicken: Season the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Place the seasoned chicken in a 6-quart crockpot.

      Combine Ingredients: Transfer the sautéed vegetable mixture to the crockpot. Pour in the chicken broth and sprinkle in the dried thyme and rosemary. Gently stir everything together to ensure the ingredients are well mixed.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on the low setting for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and tender.

          Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, carefully remove it from the crockpot and place it onto a cutting board. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then return the shredded chicken back to the soup in the crockpot.

            Add Cream and Peas: Stir in the heavy cream and frozen peas. If you prefer a thicker consistency for your soup, whisk the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of cold water until smooth, then stir it into the soup. Allow it to cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, ensuring it heats through and thickens to your desired texture.

              Serve: Once the soup is warmed and has reached your desired thickness, ladle it into bowls. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor before serving.

                Optional Presentation Tips: Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra flavorful finish. A drizzle of olive oil can also add a beautiful touch!
