The Story & Intro
Every time I make Chicken Pot Pie Soup, I’m taken straight back to my grandmother’s kitchen in Crete 🇬🇷 even though this dish isn’t traditionally Greek. She believed that soups were comfort in a bowl, especially on days when life felt heavy or the weather turned cold. As a child, I’d sit at her wooden table, watching steam rise from the pot while she told stories and stirred with love.
When I first created my version of Chicken Pot Pie Soup, I wanted something warm, creamy, and familiar, but also easy enough for busy days. This soup gives you everything you love about classic chicken pot pie tender chicken, vegetables, creamy broth without turning on the oven. Chicken Pot Pie Soup is cozy, simple, and perfect for sharing with people you love. It’s the kind of meal that brings women together around the table, laughing, talking, and creating memories 💛.
I love how Chicken Pot Pie Soup feels like home, even when the kitchen gets a little messy. That’s where the magic happens!
