Directions
This creamy chicken pot pie soup has everything I love about the classic pie, but in a cosy bowl instead. Tender chicken, potatoes, carrots, celery and peas simmer in a rich, creamy broth, then golden puff pastry pieces are added on top just before serving. It is warm, filling and perfect for cooler evenings when you want proper comfort food without making a full pie.
