Chicken Pot Pie Soup

The taste of chicken pot pie, in a soup!

It’s chilly and rainy here today, perfect for making soup. This popular Skinnytaste soup recipe is from the archives, which I posted over a year ago. I never really loved the photo so I gave it a face lift and hopefully it will inspire you to make it this week for your family.

Chicken pot pie is ultimate comfort food and this creamy, chunky soup is loaded with chicken, potatoes, mushrooms, peas, carrots, corn, celery, onions and green beans in every bite. You can modify this with the vegetables you like to suit your taste. If you want to get fancy, you can serve this in hollowed out bread bowls or serve it with cut-out baked pie crust (extra points), but I often make them with these Easy Garlic Cheddar Biscuits[1].

This recipe requires cooked chicken breast. If you have raw chicken, poach 3 breasts in water for 15 minutes, then remove and dice into bite-sized pieces. This soup is super filling! One cup fills me up, but if you want a larger serving, I posted nutritional info for a larger bowl as well.

Leftovers make a great lunch!!

  • 4 cups fat free milk
  • 1 large celery stalk, chopped
  • 1/2 medium chopped onion

Directions:

Create a slurry by combining 1/2 cup of the cold water with flour in a medium bowl and whisk until well blended. Set aside.

Pour remaining water and milk into a large pot and slowly bring to a boil. Add celery, onion, mushrooms, chicken bullion, thyme, fresh pepper, frozen vegetables and return to a boil. Partially cover and simmer on low until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes. Remove lid, add potatoes and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chicken, and slowly whisk in slurry, stirring well as you add. Cook another 2-3 minutes, until soup thickens, adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve.

This pie can be made in advance and frozen. To freeze before baking, wrap the pie in cling film. Defrost in the fridge overnight, brush with egg and cook as above adding about an extra 10 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 1.5kg (3lb) free-range chicken
  • 1 carrot, peeled, cut into chunks
  • 2 celery sticks, cut into chunks
  • 2 onions, peeled and chopped
  • 2 bay leaf
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 2 leeks, trimmed and sliced thickly
  • 150g (5oz) bacon lardons, smoked or unsmoked
  • 60g (2oz) butter
  • 60g (2oz) plain flour
  • 3 tbs crème fraîche, optional
  • 1 tbs coarse-grain mustard
  • A few thyme sprigs
  • Salt and ground black pepper
  • 375g pack ready-made puff pastry
  • A little beaten egg
  • 1.5-2 litre (2½-3½ pints) pie dish

Method

  1. Put the chicken in a large pot with the carrots, celery and an onion. Add a bay leaf and pour in enough cold water to cover. Put a lid on the pan, bring to the boil, then simmer, uncovered, for about 45 mins until the chicken meat starts to fall off the bone.
  2. Take the chicken out and set aside for about 20 mins. Put the pan back on the heat, bring the stock to the boil and simmer for an hour to reduce it. As soon as the chicken is cool enough to handle, take the meat off the bones and add the bones to the stockpot for extra flavour.
  3. Heat the oil in another pan, and add the other onion and leeks. Fry for about 5 mins, stirring. Add the bacon and fry for 5 mins more. Put into pie dish with bite-sized chunks of chicken.
  4. Add the butter and flour to the pan, and cook, stirring to make a paste. Remove bones before gradually adding 600ml (1 pint) of the hot chicken stock to make a smooth sauce. Let it boil for a couple of mins, then add the crème fraîche, if using, and the mustard, the other bay leaf, thyme leaves and seasoning. Pour over chicken and leeks in the dish and stir well. Leave to cool.
  5. Roll out the pastry just a little larger than the top of the pie dish and cut out. Brush the edge of the dish with egg, fit some trimmings round it, then put the cut-out pastry on top. Press down well to seal, trim off excess pastry and roughen up edges. Roll out trimmings to make decorative “leaves”. Make a small hole in the top and arrange the “leaves” on the pastry top. Chill the pie while the oven heats up.
  6. Set the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200°C. Heat a baking sheet in it. Brush pastry with egg. Put the dish on the baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 mins until the pastry is golden and the filling bubbling up.
