Chicken Pot Pie Soup

August 21, 2013 by Edie Wadsworth 75 Comments

So, in case you didn’t know, I call myself the soup whisperer. I even bought the web domain so that someday when I launch my Soup Whisperer book, I’ll already own the web page. That might be what you call putting the cart before the horse. If soup’s not my specialty, then putting the cart before the horse certainly is.

But I basically take dishes, which would normally be main dishes, and make a soup of them. I’d rather make a big pot of soup than do almost anything in the world.  It’s big fun.  I hope you’ll try it!

I finally did chicken pot pie soup and it was a hit, so I thought I’d share.  And I served it up on the chalk board placemats!

Here’s what you need:

  • 3 T. butter and a few swirls of olive oil (about 2 T.)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 15 baby carrots, diced
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • salt, pepper to taste
  • 1 t. nutmeg
  • 6 cups good chicken stock (I always use Kitchen Basics, it’s rich and hearty and tasty)
  • 1/2 box mushrooms (optional, I add them when I have them on hand!)
  • 1/2 bag of frozen peas (add as many as you like but I usually use half of a regular bag, thawed for about a min in the microwave)
  • 3 Yukon gold potatoes, diced
  • 3 cups cooked chicken (I usually cook 3-4 breasts in the crock pot all day with a little broth but you could use rotisserie chicken, too!)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 bay leaves
  • A few springs of thyme (could use dry a teaspoon of dry poultry seasoning instead)
  • 1 T. honey

Here’s how I do it:

  • Melt 3 T. of butter in a big soup pot, along with a few swirls of olive oil.
  • Saute the onions and carrots and add salt and pepper to taste (you will adjust the salt/pepper at the end but add some now!)
  • Add the flour and let it cook for about a minute, as you stir it around the pan
  • Add the chicken stock and stir well, to deglaze the flour bits from the bottom of the pan
  • Add the potatoes, chicken and mushrooms and cook for 10-15 on medium heat, until the potatoes start to soften
  • When the potatoes are slightly soft, add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for 15 min or so and then it can sit with the lid on until you’re ready to serve.

I always make my soups in the morning and then they sit all day, which deepens the flavor.  You could serve this with biscuits, rolls, or any kind of bread really. I love Rhodes frozen dough balls for this. You just spray a muffin pan with Pam, add two dough balls to each muffin tin and let them rise for 4-5 hours. It’s an easy shortcut to homemade rolls (or faux-made rolls, if you will) and my kids go crazy over them.

Let me know if you try it.  And since we’re gearing up for fall, try some of my other soups!

In geekier news, I’m working on a master schedule to make the most of my time at home.  It’s a color coded spread sheet, dear friends.  And I only allowed myself until 8:30 to finish this post and it’s 8:33.  You may need to intervene.  But from 9-12 today, I’m working on blog projects, so maybe you’ll benefit from my tendency to overdo things in the beginning.

Okay, I’m five minutes late for my date with the laundry.

For other thrifty ideas and recipes, head over to Ruth’s blog for Thrifty Thursday!

Have a great one!

    Ah–you’re a girl after my own heart–and with perfect timing, to boot! I am going through my soup recipes right now, getting ready for fall. I started 2 weeks ago with your tutorial on using Google calendar menu rotation, and swerved over to create a magnetic menu board, when I saw the cute little college dorm magnet boards at Target. Got my menu rotation magnets ready to go, but I am adding this soup! Thanks!

    Well, I was just thinking yesterday “I need a good chicken soup recipe!” My kids love soup and I can’t make the ham-tomato-rice soup they request every week. But they’d love it if I did. Anyway, I wonder if you could offer an alternative to green peas? My son is allergic to round legumes (it’s because of his peanut allergy). When I make chicken pot pie regularly I use either green beans or broccoli chopped up. How do you think either of those would do in a soup? Can you think of something else to suggest? Come on Soup Whisperer, what do you got! 🙂

    Color-coded spreadsheets? Please tell me more! Last week both of my kiddos went to school for the first time too, and I don’t quite know how to handle myself yet. Some days I make ridiculously long to-do lists that will never get to-done, and other days, I waste so much time that it’s gluttonous (only with time. what’s that sin called?) I need to find a balance, and fast! I have been handling my empty nest by running so much that I’m getting shin splints!

    Just made a tweaked version of this soup tonight and it was DELISH! Motivated by the need to use up as many vegetables sitting in my fridge before we go on holiday in two days – this recipe came to mind and I pulled it off last minute. Here’s my tweak: added celery along with the onion and carrot. Left out potatoes. Made my own chicken stock (out of necessity, don’t be too impressed) and forgot the nutmeg. A new family favourite!
    Thanks, soup whisperer! Keep ’em coming!

    I saw this recipe a while ago , and I finally had most of the ingredients to make it! It was excellent, and my kids loved it too! I did change a few things – using corn instead of peas and canned biscuits. I used the leftover soup as a base for mushroom soup the next day, even better. Now I have to try some of your other soup recipes. I am fascinated by shrimp boil so I think that will be next 🙂

We also added a few things – about a 1/4 cup of Sierra Nevada beer (any lighter/wheat beer would work a little flour (maybe half a tablespoon) to thicken it a bit, and on top I baked separately just a puff pastry sheet (at 450 for 15 minutes) with an egg wash and a pinch of salt on top. We also made Acini de Pepe pasta and added that to the soup! Delicious! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Acini_di_Pepe.jpg/250px-Acini_di_Pepe.jpg

2 years ago today, your world shattered into a mil 2 years ago today, your world shattered into a million pieces.

Sometimes I marvel at how we were blessed enough to be there holding you when it all came crashing down. I do know this—I can’t remember my life without you.

I do know that thousands of tears and meals and boo-boos and toy trucks later, we stand in awe of you---your courage, your brave big boy fight, your tender little boy heart, your hilarious old man ways. 

We know how sacred this walk with you is and we don’t take it lightly.

We are here for it all and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We have always loved you and you have always been our special gift.

 Love you little one. Let’s keep listening for Aslan. He will find a way to put everything back together.

I turned 51 last week and spent a much needed few I turned 51 last week and spent a much needed few days alone with this guy.  As soon as we drove out of the driveway I started crying. I don’t think I realized how much I needed a break.

it was incredible and relaxing and amazing and so life-giving. 

this week it feels like last week was 100 years ago because you know, life. 

I am excited to say that despite the fact that I’m another year older I managed to figure out how to go live on YouTube with my new camera. It only took me approximately 6000 hours. So maybe you’ll join me at noon today on YouTube and we’ll try something new together.

Here’s to 2021. Maybe it will get its act together but if it doesn’t we will get ours together😂🥳❤️❤️❤️
“To have Faith in Christ means, of course, tryin “To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

We took Tommy boy for this first ski adventure tod We took Tommy boy for this first ski adventure today and it was so satisfying to see him tackle something hard and keep his chin up and have a BALL doing it.

He was very entertaining to his ski school friends, despite the fact that his German instructor couldn’t understand a WORD he said. 😂🥳

But all you mamas out there can see through all the pretty pictures and videos to know that days like today can also be full of frustration.

Making sure everybody has their stuff, the reservations, the snacks, the HASSLE of boots and poles and gloves and skis, the tears, the snappy replies, the hurt feelings, the wrong turns, the missed moments, the potty breaks.

NEED I GO ON??????

But then there’s the down to your soul goodness of being smack dab in the middle of God’s glorious creation, the sheer joy of the wind and sun on your face, the fleeting feeling that everything is right in the world, the triumph of tackling something hard and pushing through all the doubt and fear.

I felt every emotion today. What a privilege to live this life we’ve been given. What grace to live it with these people.

Today was a dream. But like every dream come true, it has a cost, it requires more of you than you think it will. You will want to quit.  A million times.  But what waits for you on the other side is worth fighting for. 

That’s what we’re diving into this week in my online workshop LIVE YOUR DREAM.

You may have given up on setting goals, but don’t stop dreaming.

Come dream with us and let’s make 2021 the year we were willing to be so alive that we would risk feeling EVERY emotion, every setback, every failure in order to see it come true.

We start tomorrow.

It won’t be the same without you.

It’s time to dream again.
