Chicken & Biscuit Pot Pie Soup

Chicken & Biscuit Pot Pie Soup | Nevermore LaneLet me tell you about my addiction to chicken pot pie…mmmmm…

When I was a kid, my mother was the bread-winner in the family.  My dad was battle a drug addiction problem so he wasn’t exactly present despite being right in front of us. My mother worked long hours and even though she did cook a lot from scratch, she had her moments when oven was best. One of my favorite things was the frozen pot pies. I didn’t really know then how not-so-good those little doozies were. But, they were comfort food. 

When mom had a chance to make from scratch chicken pot pie, I was in heaven!

Now that I am older and a bit more mindful about what I eat, I seek that same comfort feeling without the high calories.

Some time ago I made a Skinny Chicken Pot Pie soup and it quickly became a household favorite. Before the Mr. and I separated I decide to change the recipe up a little bit because he felt that the skinny version still needed a “bit something more” as he put it. I wanted to give him and kiddo more of a ‘crust’ feel with still keeping with the soup. So, I took a page from my chicken and dumplings and revamped that into this creation.
