Ingredients

  • 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil can sub butter or ghee
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 cup diced carrots 3-4 carrots
  • 1 cup diced celery 2-3 stalks
  • 1 pound baby gold potatoes quartered or diced (3-4 cups)
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt more or less, to taste
  • 1/2-1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried rosemary or 3/4 Tbsp. fresh rosemary
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1-1 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon dried ground/rubbed sage
  • 3 cups quality chicken stock or broth I like bone broth
  • 1/2 cup canned coconut milk or almond milk optional
  • 12-16 ounces cooked cubed chicken (about 3 cups)
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • fresh parsley or additional herbs to serve

Instructions

  • Cook Veggies. In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, celery, and potatoes and cook veggies 12-15 minutes, or until almost fork-tender.
  • Build Flavor. Add garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and sage. Stir and cook 1 minute. Add chicken broth and cover the pot.
  • Simmer. Bring soup to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium and simmer 10-15 minutes or until the potatoes are just cooked through. (They shouldn't be mushy but shouldn't be hard).
  • Thicken. Remove 1-1 1/2 cups of the veggies and broth mixture and transfer to a high-speed blender with the coconut or almond milk. Blend until completely smooth and pour back into the soup pot with the remaining veggies and broth.
  • Finish. Stir through to combine, and add cooked chicken and frozen peas. Cook 1-2 minutes more, then garnish with fresh herbs. Taste, and add additional salt, pepper, or herbs, as desired. 
  • Serve & Store. Enjoy right away, and store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator 2-3 days. 

Notes

  • Potatoes. We only recommend Yukon gold potatoes for this soup. Russet potatoes can get mushy, and red potatoes will change the look of the soup pretty drastically. 
  • Can You Freeze Chicken Pot Pie Soup? I wouldn't recommend it. Potatoes aren't the best texturally when they've been cooked, frozen, then thawed. They'll definitely soften. I recommend eating this soup fresh for best results.
