Instructions
1️⃣ Sauté Aromatics:
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
2️⃣ Add Vegetables and Broth:
Stir in the carrots, potatoes, chicken broth, and water. Mix in the tomato paste, dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
3️⃣ Add Chicken and Peas:
Add the shredded chicken and frozen peas to the pot. Stir to combine and let simmer for another 5–10 minutes, ensuring everything is heated through and flavors meld together.
