Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 1 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 lb Little Potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk, light cream, or heavy cream
  • 3 Tbsp flour
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 lb cooked chicken, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas or mixed vegetables, thawed
  • (To taste) Kosher salt or pepper, freshly ground

Instructions

  • Step 1

    In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, and thyme and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Stir in the potatoes and the chicken or vegetable broth.

  • Step 3

    Bring to a boil and simmer with the lid on until the potatoes are tender but not mushy, 10 to 15 minutes.

    Grate the cheese and thaw the frozen peas (or mixed veggies) under some running water.
