Instructions:
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Whisk flour into the aromatics and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add thyme, rosemary, and nutmeg.
- Add chicken to the soup. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 15-20 minutes (internal temp of 165°F/74°C).
- Stir in frozen peas, corn, and green beans. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut each biscuit into quarters. In a bowl, toss biscuit pieces with melted butter, garlic powder, and parsley.
- Spread biscuit pieces on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Ladle soup into bowls and top with biscuit croutons.
