Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Rain. Rain. Rain and a little sleet today.

 

Which means we stayed home!

 

And I only had to leave the house to feed the heifer-I'm not sure when I became the chore girl....that was not in my job description!

 

 

The kids and I made some yummy Chicken Pot Pie Soup for lunch on our rainy Sunday.

 

The recipe came from HERE.

She served it with pie crust pieces....I don't like pie crust so I didn't make that part!
We had ours with some yummy bread instead.

 

 

It didn't dissapoint!

 Both kids cleaned their bowls!!!

 

 

Chicken Pot Pie Soup

 

4 T butter

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/8 t basil

1/8 t thyme

1/8 t celery salt

1 pinch garlic powder

1/4 t black pepper

1/3 cup flour

3 cups milk

1 can half and half (I used milk for this as well)

3 chicken boullion cubes

2-3 cups cooked, chopped chicken

2 cups cooked, diced potatoes

1 1/2 cups mixed vegetables cooked (we used carrots, peas and celery)

 

 

In a large pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt butter and sauté onions until soft.

Add basil, thyme, black pepper, celery salt, & garlic powder.

 Stir and sauté for a minute.

Add flour and stir for about another minute.

 Gradually whisk in milk and half & half, making sure to whisk out lumps.

  Add bullion cubes and continue to whisk until liquid comes to a simmer and thickens.

Stir in chicken & vegetables.

 Turn heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
