Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• salt and pepper, to taste

• 1/2 onion, diced

• 2–3 cloves garlic, minced

• sprig of fresh rosemary or 1 pinch dried rosemary

• sprig of fresh thyme or 1 pinch dried thyme

• 32 ounces chicken broth

• 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced

• 2-3 cups frozen peas and carrots

• 2 tablespoons flour

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

• fresh parsley, chopped

• 1 pre-prepared sheet puff pastry, thawed

Directions

Step 1: To begin, add the chicken, onion, salt and pepper, rosemary, garlic, broth, thyme, potato, and carrot/pea mix into your slow cooker.

Step 2: Cook on HIGH for 3 hours. Then, remove the chicken, shred it with a fork, and return it to the pot.

Step 3: If you used fresh herbs, remove and discard the herb sprigs. Leave the dry herbs, if you opted for those.

Step 4: Next, in a separate bowl, whisk the cream and flour together until smooth, then add it into the slow cooker. Continue to cook on high heat for an hour.

Step 5: For anyone who desires an extra thick soup, we recommend you whisk a small mixture of cold water and cornstarch into the slow cooker.

Step 6: While the soup is cooking, bake your puff pastry according to the package instructions. Typically, you will cook the pastry for 15 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Step 7: Before serving, stir the parsley into the soup and top with the puff pastry. Yum!
