I was exhausted, I didn't take anything but the first pic when it looks like chicken soup with taters. The peas were added at the very end because of their short cook time and I think the potatoes are just stuck together after cutting there, I had just added them. I used modified corn starch as a thickener instead of a roux.

So, corn starch is a “cleaner” thickener. But I love a flour rue. It reminds me of home.
There's pros and cons to corn starch vs. roux in how they look, taste, reheat, and in calories. Thickening a cup of liquid with corn starch takes about 30 calories, a roux is around 150 calories. I went with it more out of convenience.
What did you do for the broth?
That's just instant, it's all I had. Knorr brand, it's popular among Hispanics.
