The Ultimate Comfort Food: Chicken Pot Pie Soup

February 21, 2016

A comfort food can invoke sweet childhood memories, or pleasant times that made us feel loved. Everyone has their own list of comfort foods and we at Foodista are no different. From satisfying stews to home baked goods, the scent of these tasty dishes just make us feel all warm and fuzzy.

On our farm, chicken pot pie seems to be the most requested dish in the deep winter months. It's a great one to have in my recipe files, because when someone is not feeling well, comforting them means I don't have hours to spend in the kitchen. Today's recipe for Chicken Pot Pie Soup is perfect. It's the home cooked, comfort dish we love, and is easy enough to make when things at home become hectic. Thanks to Foodista contributor, Taste and See, your next comfort meal is ready to make.

Topped with homemade biscuits instead of a crust, making this into a soup is genius! The best part of a good pot pie is the rich gravy, right? Well, this one has double the gravy to eat with those tasty biscuits. You will never miss the pie crust. Delicious!
