Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt butter; add onion and carrots and a pinch of salt; cook, stirring until soft, about 10 minutes.
Evenly stir in flour; add half of the milk, stirring continuously until thickened; repeat with second half of the milk. Stir in the chicken soup mix, peas, chicken, thyme, and pepper; simmer, stirring often, 10 - 15 minutes, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.
Transfer mixture to an 8 x 11 inch baking dish or 3 quart oven-safe dish; cover with tater tots. Bake until the tots are golden brown; begin checking for doneness at 30 minutes.
Let cool slightly. Serve with ketchup, if desired.
(It can be made in advance and kept in the refrigerator until it's time to bake.)
