Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) salted butter
3 medium carrots, peeled and small diced
2 celery stalks, small diced
1 large yellow onion, small diced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 chicken bouillon cube
Pinch turmeric
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 thick slices brioche
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1/2 cup frozen peas
Chives, chopped, for garnish

Steps:

Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the carrots, celery and onion and sauté until the vegetables start to turn translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the thyme sprigs, then sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and stir to combine. Next, add the chicken broth, cream, bouillon cube, turmeric and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer, stirring, until the liquid has thickened and the vegetables are tender, 10 to 12 minutes.
Toast the brioche.
Add the chicken to the pot and stir it into the sauce. Cook for a minute or two, then add the peas and cook for 1 minute more, stirring so that everything is combined.
Place 1 slice of toast on a plate. Top with a ladle of the chicken mixture. Garnish with chives.
