Crafting Your Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Ingredients:

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 cups chicken stock
  • 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick

  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons salt (to taste)

Directions:

  1. Start by melting the butter in a large pot over medium heat.

  3. Next, mix in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for another 5 minutes until they’re soft.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to make a light roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in the chicken stock. Then, add the sliced potatoes, salt, and pepper.
  6. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  7. Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, and corn. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to heat everything through.
  8. Finally, stir in the heavy cream and chopped parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes, then serve hot.

Serving Suggestions for Chicken Pot Pie Soup

This soup is best served hot. You can enjoy it as is or with some crusty bread on the side for dipping. A sprinkle of extra parsley on top makes for a pretty presentation, too!

If you have any leftovers, store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3-4 days. Reheat on the stove over low heat, adding a splash of chicken stock if it gets too thick.

Tips for Perfecting Your Soup

  • Make sure to cut your potatoes to an even thickness so they cook uniformly.

Possible Variations

You can easily tweak this recipe to match your taste. Try adding herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor, or substitute chicken with turkey for a post-holiday treat. For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
