I have to tell you a little story. I’ve been working so hard on my cookbook and have created so many recipes that I really wondered if I’d ever be able to create another one.
What if I’d poured everything I had into that book and there was nothing left to work with?
I turned the manuscript in to my editor and then planned to take a big break. That’s not how things went though, because the next weekend I wanted to create a Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe and partnered with College Inn broth to do so.
This Chicken Pot Pie Soup is a comfort in many ways. For me, it’s great to know that I’m still able to be creative in the kitchen, even after the intense cookbook work.
This soup has all the warm, hearty ingredients you expect in a chicken soup, especially as the weather cools down. It starts with a great chicken broth and I like to use College Inn – It’s got a savory taste that helps elevate any dish to make it delicious. Then the soup is topped with Pie Crust Croutons.
Chicken Pot Pie Soup + Pie Crust Croutons is amazing! It’s the perfect comfort food.
Here’s what you’ll need to make a big pot for your family (and you will want to get to your kitchen as soon as you can to stir up a batch!).
College Inn broth provides a flavorful base to the soup. Try it with your next recipe and use #CollegeInnBroth in social media to show off your creation!
