Ingredients

Scale

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup frozen peas
Salt and pepper to taste
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing it to lightly brown and thicken the mixture.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas. Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the puff pastry into strips and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the pastry strips.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve the soup, topped with the golden cheddar crust dippers.

Notes

For a richer flavor, you can substitute half-and-half or cream in place of the milk.
If you don’t have puff pastry, you can use refrigerated biscuit dough, cut into strips.
The soup can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat before serving, and prepare the crust dippers fresh for the best texture.
Feel free to add more vegetables such as potatoes or corn for extra heartiness.
