Why I love this recipe
This is a very easy soup to make, it is practically fail-proof. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken from meals like baked chicken breasts, baked chicken tenderloins, or baked chicken thighs and despite its creamy texture, it is also dairy-free!
Ingredients
- chicken – use leftover baked or crock pot chicken, cubed or shredded, or grab pulled chicken or rotisserie chicken from the grocery store deli to make it easy
- veggies – potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, and peas
- pantry basics – chicken broth, flour, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper
- from the fridge – butter and dijon mustard
The best potatoes to use are Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes have a creamy texture that holds up well in soups, while red potatoes are waxy and won’t break down as easily, keeping their shape in the broth. Both varieties add a nice buttery flavor, making them perfect for this comforting, hearty soup!
Step by step
- Chop the vegetables into bite-size pieces.
- Add butter to a large skillet, Dutch oven, or cast iron pan (affiliate link), and add all vegetables except the peas. Cook over medium-high heat until they are beginning to get tender, about 8 minutes.
- Sprinkle veggies with flour and stir to coat. Cook 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
- Whisk in the broth and then add the remaining ingredients.
- Simmer, stirring often, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving.
Variations
- you can customize the veggies according to your tastes: corn, frozen mixed vegetables, and green beans are all great matches for this recipe
- use leftover turkey or ham or even pulled pork to change up the meat in this pot pie soup
- omit the meat and use vegetable broth for a vegetarian option
- add fresh thyme, sage, or rosemary to customize the flavor
