Chicken Pot Pie Soup is the ultimate comfort food and is so easy to make with simple ingredients, including homemade or canned cream of chicken soup, potatoes, chicken, and mixed vegetables.
Peel and rinse the potatoes.Cut them into 1-inch slicesand transfer them to a large pot. Submerge them in 2 inches of water and gradually bring it to a gentle boil. Salt the water once a boil is reached (I add 3 tsp salt.) Cook until very fork tender, about 25 minutes. Drain, and mash with 2 tablespoons of butter. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt/pepper. Add it to the soup pot and cook on all sides until a golden and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Turn the heat off. Add the wine and set the heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to "clean" the bottom and sides of the pot, this will add more flavor to the broth. Reduce by half, about 4 minutes.
Add the onions, celery, and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Add the flour and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste, stirring continuously.
Add the chicken broth in small splashes, stirring continuously. Add the half and half in the same manner.
Stir in the cream of chicken soup, 1/2 chicken bouillon cube, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Bring to a boil, thenreduce to a simmer. Add the potatoes. Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth or transfer to a blender in batches.
Add the cooked chicken along with any juices from the plate. Add thefrozen vegetables and heat through for10 minutes or until ready to serve. (let let the broth boil or the chicken will become tough). Serve with Buttermilk Biscuits!
Notes
Pro Tips
Leftover or Rotisserie Chicken: 2 ½ cups of leftover chicken can also be used and can be added with the frozen vegetables at the end.
Wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, and Sauvignon Blanc are my go-to dry white wines for this recipe. Chicken broth can be used if you don't cook with wine.
