In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery; cook until softened (about 5 minutes). Stir in garlic and cook for another minute.
Mix in flour, cooking for 1 minute. Gradually stir in evaporated milk and chicken stock until smooth; bring to a boil.
Add shredded chicken, thyme, black pepper, and salt; reduce heat and let simmer uncovered.
