Steps to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Cook the Chicken

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until vegetables start to soften.

Add Stock and Seasonings

Add the chicken broth, potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

Finish with Cream

Stir in the heavy cream and cooked chicken. Heat through and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve hot with bread or biscuits for a true comfort meal!

Tips for the Perfect Soup

For a rich flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth if you have some on hand. If you’re short on time, store-bought broth works just fine, but opting for low-sodium options allows you to control the seasoning better. Don’t hesitate to experiment with the herbs and spices; a sprinkle of parsley or even rosemary can elevate the dish further.

When it comes to the vegetables, feel free to mix and match based on your preferences. Frozen vegetables can also be a convenient alternative if you’re pressed for time. Just be sure to sauté them briefly to enhance their flavor before adding them to the broth.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you’d like to keep it longer, you can freeze the soup for up to three months. Just make sure to let it cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container.

When you're ready to enjoy your frozen soup, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally to ensure an even warming. If the soup has thickened while stored, adding a splash of chicken broth or water will help regain its creamy consistency.
