The garlic should turn aromatic. Then add the vegetables such as carrots, celery and capsicum. Sauté the vegetables for a minute. Let the vegetables soften.

- Add garlic powder, onion powder and dried thyme to the mixture. Give it a stir and let it thicken.
- Add the cooked chicken and peas and give the soup a good stir. Bring it to a simmer and let it bubble. Once the soup has thickened as per your preference, add salt and pepper and give it a stir. Add some croutons, garnish with thyme and serve hot.
