Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, diced

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups potatoes, diced (any variety)

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

    Add Vegetables: Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.

      Season: Sprinkle in the dried thyme, rosemary, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables.

        Cook the Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned on the outside (it doesn't need to be cooked through).

          Add Broth and Potatoes: Pour in the chicken broth and add the diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

            Stir in Peas and Cream: Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the frozen peas and heavy cream. Let the soup heat through for another 5 minutes.

              Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

                Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your comforting bowl of pot pie goodness!
