Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken Pot Pie Soup
- In a large pot over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, whisk in 1/3 cup of all-purpose flour, stirring continuously for about 2–3 minutes until the mixture is golden and bubbly.
- Gradually pour in 4 cups of chicken stock while whisking to avoid lumps. Continue cooking, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
- Lower the heat and slowly stir in 1 cup of milk or cream, depending on your preference for richness. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the soup to become wonderfully creamy.
- In a separate skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup diced carrots and 1 cup diced celery, sautéing for about 5 minutes until they've softened.
- Transfer the sautéed vegetables into the pot with your creamy broth. Add 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken, and stir well to combine all the ingredients.
- Season your Chicken Pot Pie Soup with salt and pepper according to your preference, and add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme or fresh parsley for a delightful herbal note.
- Ladle the Chicken Pot Pie Soup into bowls, and if desired, garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or buttery biscuits on the side.
