Chicken soup with puff pastry hearts

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Wash and dry the chicken breast. Place it in the bowl of a slow cooker, cut in half.

2. Step 2:

   

   Cut the peeled potatoes into small cubes. Cut the onion in the same way. Put the potatoes and onions in a slow cooker with the chicken.

3. Step 3:

   

   Peel the carrots, wash them well and cut them into very small cubes. Also transfer the sliced carrots to a slow cooker.

4. Step 4:

   

   Prepare all the spices: salt and pepper, garlic, rosemary, thyme. It is better to use fresh sprigs of thyme and rosemary. In this case, the twigs will need to be removed from the soup at the end of cooking and discarded. If there are no twigs, then dry rosemary and thyme will do, but they need to be added quite a bit, a small pinch.

5. Step 5:

   

   Add thyme, rosemary, salt and pepper to the vegetables and chicken, squeeze out two cloves of garlic.

6. Step 6:

   

   Pour chicken broth or water (if there is no broth) into a slow cooker. Choose the mode depending on the model of the slow cooker. For someone it will be a mode of "Soup", "Cooking", I just call it "Normal". Cook for 3 hours.

7. Step 7:

   

   After 3 hours, take out the chicken, chop (divide into fibers) and return it back to the bowl of the slow cooker.

9. Step 8:

   

   Add frozen or fresh green peas.

10. Step 9:

    

    In order to make the soup creamy, whisk the flour and fat thick cream until smooth.

11. Step 10:

    

    Add the cream and flour to the slow cooker. Keep on high heat for another hour or so. If it is not thick enough, whisk the corn starch with a little cold water and add it to the soup in a slow cooker. I did not add starch, the soup turned out to be rich and thick enough.

12. Step 11:

    

    Defrost one sheet of puff pastry. Roll it out 4-5 millimeters thick.

13. Step 12:

    

    Cut the puff pastry into triangles, stars, circles or hearts! Bake in preheated to 180-200 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Determine the exact time and temperature by your oven!

14. Step 13:

    

    When serving, add parsley to the soup to add some fresh color. Arrange the soup on plates and put a puff pastry pie on top. Yummy!
