Description
This Healthy Chicken Pot Pie Soup is a wholesome, lighter version of the classic comfort food. Made with real ingredients like shredded chicken, vegetables, herbs, and a creamy dairy-free broth, it delivers the familiar cozy flavors in a nourishing, gluten-free and dairy-free bowl.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 celery stalks, chopped
3 large carrots, sliced
2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup frozen peas
3 cups cooked shredded chicken
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice)
2 tablespoons flour (or gluten-free substitute)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté for about 3 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Add chopped celery and sliced carrots. Cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Stir in diced potatoes, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary, and mix well to coat the vegetables in seasoning.
- Pour in chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together almond milk and flour until smooth. Stir the mixture into the soup to thicken.
- Add shredded chicken and frozen peas. Simmer for another 5–10 minutes until heated through and slightly thickened.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot.
Notes
For a richer flavor, add a splash of white wine or a teaspoon of Dijon mustard.
To make it thicker, mash a few cooked potatoes directly in the pot.
Use arrowroot or tapioca starch to make it paleo.
Can be made with leftover turkey instead of chicken.
Reheats well and freezes for up to 2 months.
