Instructions
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion. Sauté 5 minutes, or until the onions are tender.
Stir in the flour until blended. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock, thyme, and nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a light boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium. Stirring occasionally, simmer until the potatoes are fork tender. Reduce the heat to low to stop any boiling.
In a small bowl, stir together half-and-half with 1 teaspoon of soup to temper it. Slowly stir into the soup. Add the chicken and frozen peas. Heat through and add more salt, pepper, and thyme, if desired.
Serve warm with biscuits or crackers.
Notes
Crockpot:
Add chicken (recommend using frozen), potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, peas, stock, butter, salt, pepper, thyme and nutmeg to crockpot.
Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours. Remove and shred chicken, then add back in.
In a small bowl, mix together half and half and flour until smooth. Add to crockpot, stir and cook on high for about an hour until thick and creamy.
Freeze: Once cooled, store soup in an airtight container or freezer bag and place in the freezer. To thaw, stick in the fridge overnight. If it thickens up too much while in the freezer, feel free to add a splash of chicken broth to help make the consistency more 'soupy' again.
