Step-by-Step Process

Sauté vegetables
Melt butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; cook 6–8 minutes until softened.
Add garlic & flour
Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute. Sprinkle flour over veggies; cook 2 minutes, stirring.
Add broth & chicken
Gradually whisk in broth to avoid lumps. Add chicken, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer.
Cook chicken
Simmer 15–20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
Add peas & cream
Stir in peas, corn, and cream. Simmer 5 minutes. Remove bay leaves. Taste—adjust seasoning.
Make biscuits
While the soup simmers, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in cold butter until pea-sized. Add buttermilk; stir just until combined.
Top & bake
Drop biscuit dough by spoonfuls into simmering soup. Brush with beaten egg. Cover and simmer 15 minutes until biscuits are cooked through.
