CHICKEN POT PIE SOUP-
If you love all of the ingredients in a traditional Chicken Pot Pie with a pie crust, you are in for a treat with this soup version. Chicken chunks with your go-to fresh or frozen vegetables in a rich and creamy broth.
This soup is a great way to use up leftover veggies and make soup for lunch or dinner!
INGREDIENTS-
- Unsalted butter- We love sauteeing the vegetables on butter for creaminess.
- Veggies- We used onion, carrot, and celery as fresh veggies.
- Garlic cloves- Though freshly minced garlic is best, you can substitute garlic powder if that’s all you have on hand.
- Milk- Whole milk or 2% may be used.
- Chicken broth- The chicken broth adds flavor to the soup.
- Heavy Cream- Adds creaminess to the soup.
- Flour- All-purpose flour is used as the thickening agent for the soup.
- Seasoning- Salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and a bay leaf are used for the seasoning. Add pepper flakes if you want some heat.
- Cooked chicken- Add Cooked Chicken (breast or thighs), this is great to use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken.
- Vegetables- Whatever blend of frozen vegetables you like.
- Potatoes- We used Idaho potatoes cut into cubes.
HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN POT PIE SOUP-
This soup is made on the stovetop using one pot making cleaning so much easier with the easiest instructions.
- Cook veggies- Over medium-high heat, saute the onion with butter until tender. Add the celery and carrot and butter, and cook until tender. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
- Cook potatoes- Add broth, seasoning, and milk to the potatoes. Bring to a soft boil and cook until potatoes are fully cooked.
- Add chicken- In a bowl, whisk together the heavy cream with flour and add to the Dutch Oven with the cooked chicken and frozen vegetables and stir to combine. Simmer until the frozen vegetables are tender.
- Serve- Garnish soup with fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro, or thyme and serve.
