Ingredients

Scale

Here are the ingredients you’ll need for Chicken Pot Pie Soup:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for thickening)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables:

  1. Cook the Aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Add Garlic and Vegetables: Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, celery, and potatoes. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften slightly.

Make the Soup Base:

  1. Add Flour for Thickening: Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the flour doesn’t burn and helps thicken the soup.
  2. Pour in Broth and Milk: Slowly pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Then add the whole milk and heavy cream. Bring the soup to a simmer.
  3. Season: Stir in the thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue to cook the soup on medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the soup has thickened.

Add Chicken and Finish:

  1. Add Chicken: Stir in the cooked chicken, allowing it to heat through. Let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
  2. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs to suit your taste.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve with warm bread or a biscuit on the side for the ultimate comfort food experience.
