Ingredients
 

  • 1 - 2 tbsp butter, I like unsalted
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, sliced into coins
  • 2 large celery sticks, sliced (about ½ cup)
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • cup whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour, (gluten-free flour if needed)
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup milk, I used skim (2% and whole work too)
  • 1 ½ cups sweet potatoes (1 medium) or Yukon potatoes (~1 lb), cut into small bite-sized cubes
  • 1 tsp salt, plus more to taste
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper, plus more to taste
  • 1 - 2 tbsp fresh thyme, or 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 3 - 4 cups cooked shredded chicken, I love using rotisserie chicken
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 - 4 cups baby spinach, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • In a large dutch oven or pot, heat butter over medium-low. When melted, add chopped onion, carrots, and celery and cook for 6 - 8 minutes until soft and wilted. Stir every minute or so. In the last 30 seconds, add the minced garlic and stir to combine.
  • Add the flour and mix until all the vegetables are coated. Let it “cook” for 1 minute.

  • Add the chicken stock, milk, sweet potatoes, salt, pepper, and thyme. Stir to combine, bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 15 – 20 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender. Stir every 4 minutes or so to ensure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Notes

Sweet potatoes: You can substitute sweet potatoes with Yukon gold, russet, or baby potatoes.
Make it gluten-free & dairy-free. You can easily make this crustless chicken pot pie gluten-free by using gluten-free flour and dairy-free by using olive oil or vegan butter.
Uncooked chicken breasts:
  1. Cut up 2 chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces.
  2. Add them to the heated pan between step #1 and step #2.
  3. Cook for 6 – 7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.
  4. Add in the flour and continue with the recipe.
 
Storing: Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 – 5 days.
Freezing: You can freeze chicken pot pie soup for up to 3 months. Make sure to store it in freezer-safe containers. When ready to enjoy it, defrost the pot pie overnight in the refrigerator and then reheat it on the stovetop over medium-low heat. You can also defrost the soup directly on the stovetop if you need it just takes longer.
Reheating: For best results, reheat on the stovetop over medium heat until warm. If you are in a rush, you can also reheat it in the microwave.30-second increments. I recommend covering your bowl with a damp paper towel.
