I’ve been craving lots of warm soups lately with the chilly weather we’ve been getting here.
Chicken pot pie is the ultimate comfort food and this creamy, chunky soup version is loaded with chicken, potatoes, peas, carrots and celery in every bite.
The great thing about soups is you can swap out the ingredients and vegetables to suit your taste.
Serve it along with your favorite biscuits or crackers.

Or if you already have an extra baked pie crust handy, you can certainly serve the soup inside as well.

This soup comes together fairly quickly if you are using leftover chicken or even turkey meat, especially if you have leftovers from Thanksgiving.

Love this recipe! Make it after every holiday with the homemade broth from the turkey! Also I use all purpose gluten free flour to make it gluten free!
