Chicken Pot Pie Soup

This time of year when it is cold and rainy or snowy, depending on where you live, I crave a nice hearty bowl of soup. I tried a few Chicken Pot Pie soup recipes recently and came up with one of my own that our whole family loves.

This recipe requires you cook the potatoes and carrots before adding them to the soup. But I think it is worth the extra step. I tried a recipe without the carrots and potatoes in it but it was just lacking. I like a lot of veggies in soups I make.

This recipe also calls for precooked chicken. I either use leftover chicken from the day before or a precooked chicken package out of my freezer.

To make the precooked chicken,

I purchase boneless skinless chicken breasts when they are on sale and then bake or grill them. Once the chicken is cooked and cooled, I will slice or cube the meat. Then, I package the cooked chicken in 2 cup packages for casseroles and soups.

This soup smells so good but also taste so delicious. I also like it doesn’t take long to make, which is always a plus for me. I think in just the last two months I have made this soup 3 or 4 times. It’s just that good.

I make pie strips to go on top instead of having crackers with this soup. Isn’t the pie crust one of the great things you love about chicken pot pie? So you won’t want to leave them out. I usually baked the pie crisps while the soup is simmering.

To make the pie crisps

Take one pie crust and cut it into strips. I make my pie crust from scratch but a store-bought one will work well too. Place the strips on a lined baking sheet and bake 450 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until golden brown.

We also serve our chicken pot pie with a little dairy-free cheese on top to make it extra yummy. Because isn’t everything better with a little cheese on it.
