Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 1 cup celery, diced
• 1 cup peas
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tsp thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups biscuit dough (optional, for topping)

How to make it

1. In a large pot, sauté the onion, carrots, and celery until soft.
2. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
4. Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper.
5. Simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
6. If using, drop spoonfuls of biscuit dough on top and cover the pot. Cook until the biscuits are done.
7. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, comforting soup.

How to serve it

Serve your Chicken Pot Pie Soup hot in bowls. If you added biscuit dough, it will float beautifully on top, adding a delicious touch. For an extra touch, consider garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley for a pop of color.

How to store it

Allow the soup to cool before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you added biscuit dough, it may lose its texture when stored. For longer storage, consider freezing the soup without the biscuits, where it can last for up to 2 months.

Helpful tips

• Make sure to shred the chicken finely to help it blend well with the soup.
• Adjust the seasoning according to your taste, especially the amount of salt and pepper.
• If you want an even creamier soup, add a bit more heavy cream.

Optional variations

• You can add other vegetables like potatoes or corn for more variety.
• Instead of biscuit dough, top your soup with puff pastry for a flaky crust.
• For a little heat, consider adding red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken breast?
Yes, rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver and adds extra flavor to the soup.

What can I use instead of heavy cream?
You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or evaporated milk for a lighter option, but the soup will be less rich.

Can I make this soup in advance?
Absolutely! Just remember to store it properly. It’s often even more flavorful the next day after the ingredients have had time to meld.
