Chicken Pot Pie Soup 3

I know, I know its Spring and we are wanting light, fresh recipes, but the weather has been so rainy and yucky that I have been wanting comfort food, especially soup.  Not a heavy chili or stew but soup-warm and comforting.  We love Chicken Pot Pie so I thought about how good would a Chicken Pot Pie Soup be?? Well..its pretty damn good! And really easy! You can make this more complicated by making your own biscuits but why? Just use the store bought biscuits in a can or the frozen biscuits.  They are just as good in a recipe like this and are super easy to make-preheat oven and bake 12 minutes.  Can’t get much easier than that!

I used heavy cream in this recipe but only because I had it in the fridge.  You can absolutely use milk in place of the cream and lighten this up even more.

I know I say all the time that this or that recipe is easy, but this one is really easy. On the night I had planned on making it for dinner and my son came downstairs about 5:30pm (we normally eat about 7pm) and announced he was hungry! That means feed him immediately or deal with the wrath of a hangry teenager. So, instead of making him a snack I just made this soup.  It was on the table in 20 minutes and all was right with the world after he got food in his belly, plus we all loved it!!

Hope this recipe brings some spring comfort to your dinner table! Enjoy!
