📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 400°. Melt 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high heat. Sprinkle 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour over and cook, whisking constantly, until combined and mixture is light golden brown, about ⏱️ 3 minutes. Add 3 large shallots, coarsely chopped, 2 medium carrots, peeled, coarsely chopped, 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are slightly softened, 5–⏱️ 7 minutes.

Add 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced, and 2 tsp. thyme leaves to pot; season generously with freshly ground pepper. Cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Pour in 1 cup dry white wine and cook, stirring often, until evaporated and mixture is pasty, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Add 1 lb. small potatoes, scrubbed, cut into ½" pieces, 7 cups low-sodium chicken broth, 2 Tbsp. Dijon mustard, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender, 20–⏱️ 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, roll out 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (one 14-oz. package or half of a 17.3-oz. package), thawed, on a surface (no need to flour) to a 16x12" rectangle; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with 1 large egg, beaten to blend, and season generously with flaky sea salt and pepper. Prick pastry all over with a fork and bake until deep golden brown and crisp, 15–⏱️ 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Using a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon, mash about one third of potatoes in pot so they release their starch. Add 2 cups shredded cooked chicken meat, 1 cup heavy cream, and ½ cup frozen peas to soup. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken and peas are heated through and soup is slightly thickened, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Taste soup and season with more kosher salt if needed.
