Chicken pot pie screams “comfort food” but is not usually considered light or waistline-friendly — until now! This soup combines the best flavors and ingredients of a chicken pot pie in a broth base made creamier with a gluten free roux and nut milk. Skip the pie crust topping and opt for 10 minute drop biscuit croutons instead!
Spooky season might be over but soup season has JUST begun.
There’s nothing more comforting than a warm bowl of chunky soup that heats you to the core and actually fills you up!
I love chicken noodle soup as much as the next girl, but sometimes it can be a little toooooo standard. This Skinny Chicken Pot Pie soup has some classic elements of a chicken noodle soup like shredded chicken, tons of veggies and an herby chicken broth, but this version subs out the noodles for drop biscuit croutons and a thicker, more luscious broth. You might want to bathe in this!
Here’s the scoop on how to make Skinny Chicken Pot Pie Soup:
- Sauté onions, carrots, celery and garlic until soft.
- Create roux (to thicken soup) by stirring in butter and gluten free flour to veggies.
- Add in mushrooms, thyme leaves, rosemary leaves and chicken broth.
- Bring a boil then lower to simmer, letting flavors fuse together.
- Make soup creamy by adding in your favorite nut milk.
- Add rotisserie chicken in before serving!
- Make drop biscuits by combining gluten free flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and milk. Drop biscuits onto sheet pan using ice cream scoop and bake for 10 minutes.
- Top soup with a biscuit or two and dive in!
This soup has richness, creaminess and heartiness and will leave you feeling happily satiated without feeling stuffed! I hope you enjoy 🙂
