Easy Chicken Pot Pie Soup
 
 
Author:
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 1 medium size sweet onion, diced - I always use a Vidalia and they are huge so just use half
  • 3 cloves of fresh garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken stock, organic low sodium or homemade
  • 2 cups 2% or full fat milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes or two tablespoons freshly chopped
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 rotisserie chicken, meat shredded and set aside (should be about 2 cups of meat)
  • 3 cups frozen peas and carrots mixture
  • ½ cup frozen diced potatoes, optional but good
  • 1 sprig each of fresh thyme and rosemary
  • ⅛ teaspoon fresh nutmeg
  • PUFF PASTRY STARS
  • 1 sheet thawed puff pastry
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375F
  2. Unroll your puff pastry onto a board and cut out shapes with a cookie cutter. Place each star on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Repeat and roll out leftover puff pastry until all used. Brush each star with the egg/milk wash. Bake for 15- 20 minutes or until nicely browned. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn. Remove from oven and set aside until cool.
  3. Heat some olive oil in a large soup pot and sauté onions and garlic until the onions are translucent.
  4. Add in your butter and let it melt, then stir in your flour.
  5. Let that mixture cook for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  6. Pour in your chicken stock, milk, thyme and rosemary sprigs.
  7. Add in your parsley, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg.
  8. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer.
  9. Keep simmering until the soup has thickened.
  10. Add in your chicken and frozen pea/carrot mixture. If using frozen potatoes, add them in as well.
  11. Bring back to a simmer and cook until the frozen vegetables are heated through.
  12. If your soup gets too thick, add a little bit of milk and stir to combine. Before serving, remove the thyme and rosemary sprigs.
  13. Top your bowls of soup with a puff pastry star, garnish with additional fresh parsley and you're good to go!
