Pot Pie Soup

I’ve said it again and again, John is a pot pie fan(atic). 

I have a great Chicken Pot Pie that I make, and even a super quick Chicken Pot Pie Biscuits recipe for that comfort food feeling after a stressful day when I just don’t want to spend much more time in the kitchen. 

But, sometimes I want even less pastry/biscuit while still getting the indulgent flavor of pot pie! John isn’t as much of a fan when I start cutting those carbs out, though. 😉

TIP: Do keep in mind that we’re a lower sodium house these days, so feel free to salt it up some more, to taste!
