Description

The comforting flavors for chicken pot pie transformed it into a soup! This 40-minute recipe for Chicken Pot Pie Soup is everything you love about the casserole turned into a luscious bowl of creamy soup topped off with easy puff pastry "biscuits."

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced into bite sized pieces
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 4 large carrots, diced
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt
  • 8 ounces white button mushrooms, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 teaspoons Better than Bouillon Roasted Chicken
  • 2 teaspoons dried rosemary, crushed + more for croutons
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, optional + more for croutons
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 1 cup half-and-half

Optional Puff Pastry Biscuits:

  • 1 thawed puff pastry sheet
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425ºF with rack set in middle position.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until shimmering. Add 4 diced chicken thighs and season with 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt (or 1 ¼ teaspoons diamond crystal). Cook until just barely no longer pink, about 3 minutes; transfer chicken to a bowl. Reserve drippings in pot.
  • Increase heat to medium-high. Add 1 diced onion, 4 diced carrots and 2 cloves minced garlic; season with 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt (or 1 ¼ teaspoons Diamond Crystal). Cook until starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Add 8 ounces mushrooms (cut into chunks) and cook 2 minutes.
  • Add 2 teaspoons Better than Bouillon, 2 teaspoons crushed dried rosemary and 1 teaspoon cumin seeds to pot and cook 2 minutes.
  • Stir in ¼ cup flour and cook 1 minute.
  • Stir in 3 cups water and bring to a boil. Continue to stir occasionally to break up and disperse flour.
  • Meanwhile, cut thawed sheet puff pastry into 1 inch pieces; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with a splash of water. Brush egg wash over puff pastry pieces then sprinkle with dried rosemary, dried cumin seed and flaky sea salt. Bake until puffed and golden brown, 15–20 minutes.
  • Once soup has come to a boil, stir in browned chicken, reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and stir in 2 cups peas and 1 cup half-and-half. Keep warm over low until ready to serve.
