Prepare the Chicken: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until it's no longer pink and slightly browned. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.
Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and mushrooms. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes or until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Make the Roux: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 2-3 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste. Add to stockpot.
Add Liquids: Gradually add the chicken broth while constantly stirring to avoid lumps. Stir in the milk and bring the mixture to a low simmer. Add carrots and celery. Simmer about 10 minutes.
Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Add the frozen peas and corn, along with the dried thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and the vegetables are tender.
Adjust Seasonings: Taste the soup and adjust the salt, pepper, or herbs as needed.
Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Enjoy: Serve your Chicken Pot Pie Soup hot. It's perfect for a cozy and comforting meal.
