🥘Ingredients

For the Soup

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 medium carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels

For the Puff Pastry Croutons

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3In a small bowl, whisk the beaten egg with 1 tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.
4On a lightly floured surface, unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet.
5Cut it into 1-inch squares using a sharp knife.
6Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
7Brush the tops with the egg wash.
8Bake the puff pastry squares for 12 to 15 minutes, until they are puffed and golden brown.
9Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
10They will become crispy as they cool.
11While the pastry bakes, melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
12Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery.
13Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
14Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
15Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat.
16Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently, to remove the raw flour taste.
17Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking constantly to prevent lumps.
18Add the milk, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
19Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the soup thickens slightly.
20Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn.
21Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the chicken is heated through and the peas and corn are tender.
22Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
23Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with a generous handful of the puff pastry croutons.
24Serve immediately, as the croutons will soften over time.
