Chicken Pot Pie Soup

This recipe is adapted from my gym, Performance 360.  I basically kept the base recipe the same but added a lot more chicken, veggies and potatoes to make this more hearty and protein packed! (surprise!)

HEALTHIER VERSION

This is a healthy version of chicken pot pie. No crust, low fat, high protein and all the deliciousness you can handle. It has 305 calories, 28g carbs, 6g fat and 32g protein per serving. It is super easy to make and gives you ample veggies, potatoes and meat in every bite to keep you full for hours.

I used Gluten-free flour to make this recipe friendly for gluten intolerant folks. However you can use any flour that you prefer!

CHICKEN PREP

You can cook the chicken however you prefer. A few times I have sauteed (as instructed below) and other times I have thrown the chicken on the grill first. Either way it will taste delicious! I promise!

TOOLS

I dice my chicken, onion and potatoes with the 6″ Santoku knife from my Calphalon knife set! I strongly suggest getting nice knives for cooking. It seriously changes the game. I use my big Calphalon 8qt pot to make sure I have ample room for stirring.

You will not be sorry you made this hearty yet healthy soup. Dig in and Enjoy!
