I have a favorite recipe for chicken pot pie and I found a new recipe for Chicken Pot Pie Soup. So, I spent the afternoon combining the two and then adjusting as I was cooking dinner. It was a fun experiment and turned out really tasty. As with all soups, I am willing to bet this is fabulous the second day for leftovers.
My mother-in-law taught me to use celery leaves from the center of the celery bunch to flavor soups, stuffing, and gravy. It was a delicious addition here. I also think these leaves smell really good.
