Why is it so damn easy?! Here’s why: It only takes a handful of ingredients, most of which are probably in your fridge or pantry already. It’s a one-pot meal. It all comes together in twenty minutes. No fibbing here!

Creamy Chicken Soup Ingredients:

• two TBSP olive oil OR butter
• one onion, chopped
• two celery stalks, chopped
• three big carrots, chopped
• one cooked chicken breast, shredded
• 1/3 cup of flour
• three cups chicken broth (or two cups chicken broth and one cup mushroom broth)
• three cups milk
• one cup peas, cooked
• salt, pepper and thyme to taste

Creamy Chicken Soup Instructions:

• Heat olive oil or butter in a big soup pot over medium heat.  Toss in the chopped onions, carrots and celery. Sauté until onions are clear and veggies are soft.
• Add the shredded chicken and mix.
• Toss in a third cup of flour.  Mix all the ingredients so the flour coats everything.
• Add three cups of broth. I always use bouillon to make a tasty stock, but this time I also added some mushroom broth.
• Add three cups of milk and mix.  Watch the soup and stir occasionally.  After about five minutes the broth will thicken.
• Add a cup of cooked peas (I used frozen!) and a bunch of salt, pepper and thyme.

Crowd pleaser, am I right?
