200g frozen peas

1 garlic clove, crushed

1.5 litres chicken stock

Heat oil in a large heavy-based pan.  Add onions, carrots and thyme, then gently fry for 15 minutes.  Stir in stock, bring to a boil, cover, then simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the chicken, remove half the mixture, then purée with a stick blender.  Tip back into the pan with the rest of the soup, peas and seasoning, then simmer for 5 minutes until hot through.
