Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Ingredients
- 1 pound potatoes (yukon gold or red), diced
- 3 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 2 cups milk
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 3/4 cup mushrooms, diced (button, crimini, etc.)
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1/2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation
- In a large stockpot melt butter over medium-high heat, and stir in onions, carrots and celery.
- Saute until veggies start to soften, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and mushrooms and saute an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Add flour, and stir until evenly combined with veggies, then slowly add in chicken stock and milk, then chicken, potatoes, corn, peas, Italian seasoning, pepper flakes, salt and pepper; stir well to combine.
- Once soup begins to simmer (not boil!) reduce heat to medium low, cover and continue to simmer 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom of pot.
- Once potatoes are tender, remove from heat, serve immediately, and enjoy!
