Chicken & Biscuit Pot Pie Soup
Let 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.
To start make a batch of my no eggs, no milk, homemade biscuits. These will create the topping for your soup.
You can also make these awesome olive oil biscuits as they work just as good. I found the recipe on Pinterest from Mommy Musings.
