Ingredients
  

  • 1 Rotisserie Chicken
  • 4 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 22 oz Cream of Chicken Soup
  • 16 oz Biscuits
  • 3 Tbsps Butter
  • 1 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Cup Frozen Peas and Carrots
  • 2 Celery
  • 1 Cup Onion
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Thyme
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt

Method
 

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat. Melt the butter in the Dutch oven. Add the chopped onion and celery, sautéing for 2 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  2. To make the roux, sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for about 1 minute until the mixture turns golden brown. This will help thicken the soup.
  3. Slowly add the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup, stirring to combine and avoid lumps.
  4. Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasonings.
  5. Cover the Dutch oven and let the soup cook for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. After 10 minutes, stir in the frozen peas and carrots.
  6. Add the biscuit pieces on top of the soup mixture.
  7. Let the soup simmer uncovered for about 5 more minutes, or until the biscuits are fully cooked and fluffy. Remove the bay leaf and serve hot.
