Ingredients
Scale
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk or half-and-half
1 cup cooked, shredded chicken breast
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas and corn)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 refrigerated biscuit dough pieces
Instructions
Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste. This creates a roux.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring often until the soup thickens slightly.
Stir in the milk or half-and-half, shredded chicken, frozen mixed vegetables, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat through, but do not boil after adding the milk.
While the soup heats, prepare the biscuits according to package directions. Bake them on a separate baking sheet until golden brown.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top each serving with one or two warm biscuits.
Notes
For a richer soup, substitute heavy cream for the milk.
If you prefer a gluten-free option, replace the flour with 3 tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with 1/4 cup of cold water (a slurry) added after the broth, stirring until thick.
Use leftover rotisserie chicken to speed up prep time.
