Pro Tips for a Perfect Chicken Pot Pie Soup 🌟
1. Use Rotisserie Chicken
If you’re short on time, you can use shredded rotisserie chicken instead of cubing raw chicken breasts for an even faster prep.
2. Add Seasoning to Taste
Feel free to add thyme, parsley, or a little sage to deepen the flavor and make it even more reminiscent of chicken pot pie.
3. Thickening the Soup
If you’d like the soup thicker, increase the amount of flour slurry. You can also add a bit more milk for a creamier texture.
4. Make It Ahead
This soup stores well in the fridge for 3–4 days, or you can freeze it for up to 3 months for an easy meal prep option!
