Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lb. chicken breasts (about 2 larger breasts)

1 cup celery, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup carrot, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup onion, finely chopped

1/2 tablespoon garlic, finely minced

2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces

1 cup Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters (to be removed at the end)

1 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or bone broth

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, for garnish

1/2 cup almond milk (or other dairy-free milk of choice)

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the Vegetables:
  2. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the celery, carrot, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 2 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. This step is optional but recommended for enhanced flavor.
  3. 2. Assemble in the Slow Cooker:
  4. Add the raw chicken breasts, sautéed vegetables, and potatoes to the slow cooker. Pour in the chicken broth, cover, and cook on low for 6 hours.
  5. 3. Blend the Potatoes:
  6. Once the soup is cooked, remove the large potato pieces and chicken breasts from the pot. Add the large potato quarters to a blender with almond milk and about 1/2 cup of the broth. Blend until smooth, then return the mixture to the pot.
  7. 4. Shred the Chicken:
  8. Shred the cooked chicken breasts on a cutting board, then return the shredded chicken to the pot and stir until the soup is well combined and smooth.
  9. 5. Garnish and Serve:
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy and creamy chicken pot pie soup!
