  2. Toss in 2 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Be cautious not to let it turn brown.
  3. Add 4 cups of low-sodium chicken broth to the pot and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Once boiling, stir in 2 cups of shredded cooked chicken, 1 cup of frozen peas, and 1 cup of cauliflower rice. Season with thyme, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Lower heat to medium-low and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  5. Pour in 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk. Create a slurry by whisking together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with a bit of cold water, and slowly incorporate it into the pot. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the soup thickens.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed. Remove from heat.
