Creamy Chicken, Potato, and Veggie Soup
Life is crazy for us right now!!! We are in the process of selling our home and buying a new homeātalk about stress! We planned on staying home this rainy, cold weekend to start packing our belongings. My husband came down with a terrible cold, so I decided to make a big pot of comforting soup. I was craving CurriĆ©’s Chicken Pot Pie, so I made it into a soup form without the pie crust. Quick, simple, and so delicious, and it paired nicely with breadsticks and a loaded garden salad. It made my husband feel better and made packing a little less painful. Comfort food at its best! I froze the leftover soup in small serving sizes for my kids to take to school in their thermoses. Now, if only I could find someone to pack for us.

I made this soup last night for myself and my son. It was very tasty! Thanks for another great recipe!
This has got to be the best soup I have ever made in my life. I did though add a couple of spices. 1 teaspoon of celery seed, 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning and 1 teaspoon of onion powder. I will try more of your recipes. Thank you!
i know this is an old post but fingers crossed for a response!
i’m really set on this soup recipe but am unsure how servings it would yield? seems like quite a bit;; i only need enough for 3 or 4 people, would this be too much soup?
Christine,
It made a big pot that served about 8. You can half it if you only want a small batch of soup.
I hope this helps.
Pam
I am totally making this.
Mine came out thinner than I expected, but even my anti-soup husband really enjoyed this.
i love veggies so much . I like this recipe ā¤ā¤ā¤
