Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker

In the slow cooker, combine the seared chicken, chicken broth, diced potatoes, sliced carrots, onion, thyme, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine.

Cook the Soup

Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.

Shred the Chicken

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.

Add Cream and Peas

Tips for Success

To ensure the best flavor, make sure to season the chicken well before searing. A good sprinkle of salt and pepper can elevate the dish significantly. Additionally, don’t skip the step of searing; it adds a depth of flavor that really makes the soup shine.

If you're pressed for time, you can skip the searing step. Just add the chicken directly to the slow cooker, but keep in mind that it will alter the flavor slightly. The searing helps to lock in juices and enhances the overall taste of the soup.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this delicious soup with warm, crusty bread or flaky biscuits for a complete meal. The bread is perfect for dipping and adds an extra layer of comfort to the dining experience. You can also pair it with a fresh salad for a light and refreshing contrast.

For a fun twist, garnish your soup with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme before serving. This not only adds a pop of color but also enhances the aroma and flavor, making each bowl even more delightful.

Storage and Reheating

This soup is great for leftovers! Store any remaining soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to store it for a longer period, consider freezing it. Divide the soup into freezer-safe containers, leaving some space at the top for expansion, and freeze for up to three months.

To reheat, simply thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm it on the stove or in the microwave. You may need to add a splash of chicken broth or water when reheating to achieve your desired consistency, as the soup may thicken during storage.
