Step 6
Stir in the chicken broth.
Step 7
Add the peas and carrots and the thyme.

Microwave, stirring every 30 seconds, until bubbling and thickened, about 1 1/2 minutes.

Step 11
Flatten out the biscuit.
Step 12
Cover the top of the mug, pressing the biscuit around the rim to seal it.
Step 13

Brush it with a little more half-and-half.

Microwave in 30-second intervals until the biscuit is bubbling and just cooked through, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
