I may get shunned from everyone for saying this, but I am not a fan of biscuits. I love all types of bread and dough but biscuits just don't do anything for me. Which makes me sad because I love chicken pot pie. So I turned the recipe into soup and served it in a bread bowl.

What is chicken pot pie soup?
Let's start with chicken pot pie - chicken, vegetables and seasonings are thickened into a creamy mixture and baked inside of a pie crust. For this soup version, the same ingredients apply except more liquid is added to make it soup. You can serve this soup with biscuits, crackers, bread or in a bread bowl.
Ingredients
- chicken, cooked and shredded or chopped
- carrots
- celery
- onions
- potatoes
- frozen corn
- frozen peas
- half and half or cream
- butter
- all purpose flour
- chicken bouillion seasoning
- water
- garlic
- thyme
- bay leaf
- salt and pepper
- fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
First, melt butter in a large stock pot over medium high heat. Add in the carrots, celery and onion and cook, stirring frequently for 7-10 minutes, until softened.
Next, add in the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds more, just until you smell the garlic. Then add the flour and stir until it is fully coated on all of the vegetables. Whisk chicken bouillon seasoning into warm water in a measuring cup and set aside.
Then, add the potatoes, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper. Pour the chicken stock on top and bring to a boil. Then reduce to a simmer and let simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork tender.
After that, add in frozen corn and peas and half and half or cream and cooked chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the frozen vegetables are heated through, stirring occasionally.
Finally, serve the chicken pot pie soup. Discard the bay leaf. Ladle soup into bread bowls or bowls and sprinkle wth freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Soup can be served in a bread bowl, or you can serve the soup with biscuits (homemade or store-bought), bread or crackers.
FAQ
Using heavy cream will result in a richer soup, but half-and-half works just as well. You can also use milk and make a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and cold water mixed together) to thicken the soup if your soup is too thin.
Yes, let the soup cool fully before transfering to an airtight container and freezing for 2-3 months. Potatoes do take on a mealy texture when frozen, so you could always remove them from the soup before freezing if you don't like the texture.
The power mix that turns into chicken stock is an easy way to add a bunch of flavoring without needing a lot of spices. The Knorr brand is my favorite and I find myself using this in place of liquid chicken stock reguarly.
