How to Make the Recipe

Now, let’s dive into the steps to create this comforting soup:

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Next, add the chicken breasts to the pot, followed by the Yukon Gold potatoes, black pepper, salt, dried parsley, dried basil, and dried rosemary.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
5. Remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the pot.
6. Add the milk of your choice and stir well. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
7. Finally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Chicken Pot Pie Soup turns out perfectly:

• For a richer flavor, consider using bone broth instead of regular chicken broth.
• If you want to add more veggies, feel free to toss in peas or corn for extra color and nutrition.
• This soup can easily be made in a Crockpot or Instant Pot for a hands-off approach. Just adjust the cooking times accordingly!
• For a thicker soup, you can mash some of the potatoes in the pot before adding the milk.

How to Serve

This Chicken Pot Pie Soup is delicious on its own, but you can elevate your meal by serving it with:

• Warm, crusty bread or biscuits for dipping.
• A fresh garden salad for a light and healthy side.
• Some of your favorite easy pasta recipes for a heartier meal.

Make Ahead and Storage

This soup is perfect for meal prep! You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just reheat on the stove over medium heat until warmed through. If you want to keep it longer, consider freezing it in individual portions. It’s a great option for 30-minute meals when you need something quick and satisfying!
