• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 celery ribs, sliced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage

• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Slow-Cooker Step-by-Step

1. Dice Yukon Gold potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes.
2. Slice carrots and celery, dice the onion, and mince the garlic.
3. Place chicken breasts, diced potatoes, sliced carrots, celery, diced onion, minced garlic, chicken broth, dried thyme, rubbed sage, salt, and pepper into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 5½ to 6 hours, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
5. Remove the chicken to a bowl or cutting board, shred finely with two forks, and return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
6. Temper the half-and-half by whisking a few spoonfuls of hot broth into it, then stir the frozen peas and tempered half-and-half into the slow cooker.
7. Whisk cornstarch and cold water together until smooth to make a slurry, pour it into the slow cooker, and stir to combine.

8. Cover and cook on HIGH for 20 to 30 minutes, until the soup thickens to your liking.

   

9. While the soup finishes, bake refrigerated biscuits according to package directions until golden and flaky.
10. Stir in chopped fresh parsley and taste-adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Tips for Smooth, Even Results

• Cut potatoes into even 1/2-inch cubes to ensure they cook perfectly in the timeframe.
• If using pre-cooked or frozen chicken like rotisserie, add it in the last 30 minutes to keep it tender and prevent drying out.
• To keep your half-and-half silky without curdling, whisk in a few spoonfuls of hot broth before adding it to the soup—it’s the same tempering method explained in Greek Healing Soup.
• Make sure the cornstarch is fully dissolved in cold water before stirring it in—this helps avoid any lumps in the soup.
• Bake biscuits just before serving so they’re warm and flaky; if needed, reheat biscuits in a 350°F oven for a few minutes to freshen them up.
• Always taste your soup at the end and adjust salt as needed—low-sodium broth often needs a pinch more seasoning.

Easy Swaps and Add-Ins

• Swap chicken for shredded cooked turkey—great after holiday meals for a fresh twist.
• Use heavy cream instead of half-and-half for a richer, more decadent soup (reduce quantity slightly if preferred).
• Add ½ cup corn kernels for a touch of sweetness and extra texture—see how corn shines in our Summer Corn and Zucchini Chowder.
• Go gluten-free by using gluten-free biscuits and substituting cornstarch with tapioca starch or another gluten-free thickener.
• For a cheesy twist, stir in a cup of shredded cheddar cheese at the end—yum! If you love ultra-cheesy slow cooker soups, try Crockpot Lasagna Soup.

Make-Ahead, Storage, and Reheating

• Refrigerate: Cool the soup completely and store it in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days. Keep biscuits separate so they stay fresh.
• Freeze: For best results, freeze the soup before adding half-and-half or biscuits. Use airtight containers for up to 3 months and thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. These freezing tips also work well for hearty crockpot soups like Hearty Crockpot Beef Barley Soup.

• Reheat: Warm gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. If freezing was done without dairy, add the half-and-half during reheating and heat through. Adjust thickness with a fresh cornstarch slurry if needed.

Answers to Common Questions

• Can I use rotisserie chicken? Absolutely! Just add shredded rotisserie chicken in the last 20 to 30 minutes of cooking so it warms through without drying out.
• How do I thicken the soup if it’s too thin? Make a little more cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon cold water), stir it in, and cook on HIGH until it thickens up.
• Can I make this vegetarian? Yes! Swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth, leave out the chicken, and add extra beans like cannellini or mushrooms for protein and texture. For another meatless bowl, try our Tomato Zucchini Soup recipe.
• Is it okay to freeze the finished soup with dairy? Dairy tends to separate when frozen. For best texture, freeze before adding half-and-half and stir it in when reheating.
• Can I make this on the stovetop? Yes! Simmer the vegetables in broth until tender, add shredded cooked chicken, peas, and half-and-half, then thicken with cornstarch slurry while warming through.
