The Key to Super Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup

As I mentioned, this healthy Chicken Pot Pie Soup is hearty and creamy, yet contains no dairy or cream! The secret is to add both cauliflower and potatoes to the soup, and then blend some of it together to make a lovely, thick broth. Ever since I made my Creamy Light Up Cauliflower Broccoli Cheddar Soup, I’ve become obsessed with pureeing cauliflower into soups to create a creamy base that adds extra vegetables.

Can I make it vegetarian?

Yes, just use chickpeas instead of chicken, and be sure to use dairy-free milk and vegan broth. This would make the soup both vegetarian and vegan.

add some extra vegetables

If you want some more vegetables in this soup, I suggest adding 8 ounces of baby bella mushrooms, which you can sauté with the onions, carrots, and potatoes. Fresh or frozen sweet corn is also another great option that can be mixed with peas. Yum.

Can I make this in my slow cooker?

Yes! This healthy chicken pot pie soup can be made in the slow cooker or crockpot with a few adjustments:
