1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
1 cup frozen peas

2 celery stalks, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Add the chicken broth, cream of chicken soup, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir until smooth.
Add the diced onion, celery, sliced carrots, and shredded chicken.
Cover and cook on Low for 5–6 hours or High for 2½–3 hours until the vegetables are tender.
