Mmmm…we love chicken pot pie over here, and I love the idea of chicken pot pie soup, but the version that’s served in restaurants is often really, really rich for my taste, and it is also filled with things I can’t eat right now…dairy, corn, sometimes soy. But the other day I was in the mood for a chicken pot pie soup, and I decided that my food limitations should not stop me from having it! So I made up my own recipe, and it is lighter, healthier, and dairy, soy, corn and gluten free. Here’s what I came up with:
Healthier Chicken Pot Pie Soup.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen carrot coins
- 1 1/2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and diced
- 32 ounces low sodium chicken stock
- 1 cup non-dairy milk
- 1 Tablespoon dried dill
- 1 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
-
Put the olive oil in a large pot and add the chopped onion. Saute over medium heat until soft, about five minutes.
-
Add the potatoes, chicken and broth, bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for about fifteen minutes.
-
Add the carrots, dill and salt and pepper and let simmer. Once everything is heated through and tender, stir in the non-dairy milk and peas, and heat through. The peas only need a minute or two, you don’t want them to lose their bright green color.
-
Serve immediately.
So easy, and so much healthier! Â You can top it with bread crumbs if you want, or serve with fresh baked bread for an easy meal!
Have you had the famous chicken pot pie soup from Zoup?
I made it in the instant pot and it was amazing. My brother is allergic to milk, eggs, wheat, rye, soy, nitrates, and green peas, probably more. I cooked the chicken in the instant pot and then just put everything in the instant pot after sauteing the onion but the potatos(don’t like them), milk, and peas. I cooked it for 12 min and then it was done. It tasted kinda like chicken noodle soup but without the noodles. Next time I’m gonna add noodles.
This is one of the greatest soups I’ve ever made!
Thanks for this site and for this recipe! I’m on an elimination diet for my breastfeeding son who hasn’t developed some nasty skin issues and I’m finding it harder than I thought I would! I’ll be combing through your site in the coming days!
So happy you found me! Let me know if you have any questions!
