• 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum (optional for thickening)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the pot. Cook until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, melt the butter. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Shred the reserved chicken breasts and add them back into the pot.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and cream cheese, stirring until the cream cheese has fully melted and the soup is smooth.

Step 8

Add the frozen peas and fresh thyme, continuing to cook for 10 minutes.

Step 9

If you desire a thicker soup, whisk in the xanthan gum at this point, stirring until well incorporated.

Step 10

Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
