📝 Instructions
1️⃣ Sauté the Veggies:

- Add the onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
2️⃣ Thicken the Soup:

3️⃣ Add the Broth & Simmer:
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, stirring to avoid lumps.
- Add the milk, thyme, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4️⃣ Add Chicken & Peas:
- Stir in the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5️⃣ Finish with Creaminess:
- Stir in the heavy cream (if using) and adjust seasoning to taste. Let it warm through for 2 more minutes.
6️⃣ Serve with Biscuits!
- Ladle the creamy soup into bowls and top with a buttery biscuit or serve them on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley for extra flavor!
