Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup

If you love the coziness of chicken pot pie, but you hate dealing with the crust, this chicken pot pie is the perfect addition to your meal plan this season!

The best part about this soup (aside the comfort food flavor!) is that it all done in one pot- less mess, less dishes, more bang for your buck!

Chef’s notes:

• Use Yukon Gold potatoes if you prefer your potatoes to stay more firm; russet if you prefer them creamy and more blended into the soup.
• For a lower-carb potato alternative, diced parsnip works great!
