I'm feeling a little tired of the same soup recipes from the winter - so it's time to change it up! I recently found this delicious recipe from The Clean Eating Couple for Chicken Pot Pie Soup.
Picture from The Clean Eating Couple
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb. chicken breast about 2 larger breasts
- 1 cup celery 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup carrot 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup onion finely chopped
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic finely minced
- 2 cups yukon gold potatoes peeled+ cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 cup yukon gold potatoes peeled+ cut into quarters so that you can remove them at the end
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 3 cups chicken broth or bone broth- low sodium!
- 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 3 tablespoons parsley for garnish
- 1/2 cup milk of choice almond milk, whole milk, any milk will work
Directions in Crockpot:
-
Heat olive oil in a pan on the stove. Add in the celery, carrot, onion, garlic, salt and pepper, parsley and basil. Sauté for 2 minutes or until slightly translucent. (This step is optional, but recommended!)
-
Layer raw chicken, cooked vegetables, and potatoes in the crockpot. Add chicken broth. Cover + set to low for 6 hours.
-
Once cooked, remove the large potato pieces + chicken breasts.
-
Place large potato quarters, milk + 1/2 cup of broth *from the pot* (a few ladels full!) into a blender until smooth. Add back into the pot.
-
Place chicken on a cutting board and shred. Put the chicken back into the pot.
-
Stir everything together until combined and smooth. Garnish with parsley and serve.
