Pot Pie Soup
Homemade creamy pot pie soup is an easy recipe that is tasty with any savory protein filling like chicken, turkey, beef, ham, or a vegetarian option.
Ingredients
- 4 TB salted butter divided 1 + 3 TB
- ½ C onion diced
- ¾ C celery diced
- ¾ C carrot diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon dried sage
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ C all-purpose flour
- 3 C stock or broth chicken, beef, fish, vegetable all work - see notes above
- 1 C heavy cream
- ½ C frozen vegetables any mix of corn, peas, green beans, etc
- 1 & ½ C diced leftover turkey any meat works - chicken, ham, beef, seafood, mushrooms - see notes above
- Optional – Top pot pie soup with baked biscuits, prebaked puff pastry or pie crust shapes, or with crackers.
Instructions
- Heat 1 TB butter in a large pot on medium heat. Add onion, celery, carrots, and garlic, and cook until onions are translucent about 8 minutes.
- Season with thyme, sage, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Stir in the additional 3 TB of butter and let it melt.
- Add the flour and stir until the flour combines with the butter and vegetables and browns, about 1 minute so the flour does cook a bit and won’t taste like raw flour.
- Add the stock and the heavy cream, stir to combine. Turn up to medium-high heat so it comes to a slow boil. Stir often so it combines and begins to thicken.
- Once it comes to a boil, turn down to low. Next, add in the frozen vegetables and chicken/turkey/ beef or additional vegetables at this point. Stir to combine.
- Let simmer on low for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally.
- When ready, ladle into soup bowls and serve. OPTIONAL – Top pot pie soup with baked biscuits, prebaked puff pastry or pie crust shapes, or with crackers.
- Soup can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. Reheat on medium-low for about 5 minutes to serve again.
