Chicken Pot Pie Soup 🥧🍲


 

1️⃣ Cook the Chicken:

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add diced chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.

2️⃣ Sauté the Vegetables:

In the same pot, add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery.

Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

3️⃣ Make the Base:

Sprinkle the vegetables with flour, stirring to coat evenly.

Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.

Add the milk (or cream) and stir until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.

4️⃣ Add the Ingredients:

Return the cooked chicken to the pot.

Stir in the potatoes, peas, and corn.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5️⃣ Simmer:

Reduce heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the soup is thickened.

6️⃣ Prepare the Biscuits (Optional):

While the soup simmers, bake the refrigerated biscuits according to the package instructions.

7️⃣ Serve:

Ladle the soup into bowls.

Top each serving with a warm biscuit and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
