Indulge in a steamy, heartwarming bowl of pure comfort. Tender chicken, a medley of flavorful vegetables, and a velvety, creamy broth in a bowl. This is chicken pot pie soup—the ultimate comfort food you need!
In the soup pot, saute onions, celery, carrots, and garlic in butter and oil for 2 minutes.Pro tip - Use a heavy-bottom pot to prevent the onions from caramelizing too much. Caramelized onions will affect the color of the soup.
1 tbsp Butter, 1 tbsp Olive oil, 1/2 cup Onion , 1 tsp Garlic, 1/2 cup Celery, 1/2 cup Carrots
Next, add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.Pro tip - We just need to sear the chicken not cook. It will continue to cook in the soup later.
1 lb Chicken
Then, add potatoes and flour. Stir constantly for two minutes on medium-low.Pro tip - Keep the heat on low and cook the flour but do not let it get any color.
1/2 cup Potatoes, 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
Next, add in the stock – continue to stir until the flour is absorbed and the sauce thickens. Then, add the bay leaves, thyme, and milk. Pro tip - Add the milk gradually, to prevent lumps.
1 tbsp Thyme fresh, 1 cup Chicken stock, 1 cup Milk
Cover and continue to cook on medium heat until the chicken and potatoes are cooked.Pro tip - Depending on how thick you cut the veggies, and if you use chicken thighs or breast, it can take between 6 to 8 minutes.
Next, add the fresh grated nutmeg and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning and consistency. Add more salt and pepper or water if needed. Pro tip - Ready to use stocks have salt added so make sure to taste first then adjust seasoning.
Serve with toasted bread or croutons. Garnish with some grated Parmesan cheese.
