[View Online]( [Pinch of Yum] [Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup]( 02/22/2018 08:19 | [Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup in bowls with heart puff pastry.] [Reader Recipe of the Month title banner.] Okay kids, how fun is this? It’s fun on both fronts: the creamy chicken pot pie soup made in the slow cooker (with heart puff pastries! adorable!) AND this new thing we did this month and it’s called the Reader Recipe, which is exactly like it sounds: recipes from readers! This month our winning submission was from Clancy! It’s creamy, savory, and totally WINTER COMFORT FOOD which was exactly what we asked for from our submissions. [This month's reader bio box.] She recommended a Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe to us, and while I was excited about the creamy chicken, the veggies, the herbs and potatoes and all that, the thing that really got me excited was, hate to say it, but the HEART SHAPED PUFFS on top! These are the very important life things that win me over. Making Clancy’s recipe in our studio kitchen was so much fun. In preparation: [Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup in slow cooker with chicken shredded.] Getting giddy about the hearts: [Puff pastry in heart shapes on pan before baking.] Coming together: [Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup in slow cooker.] First tastes: [Lindsay and Jenna trying soup.] Adorable team lunch moment: [Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup in bowls with heart-shaped puff pastry.]This recipe is solid winter slow cooker material!

(Honorable mention to Andréanne – I made your dad’s banana bread the exact same night you submitted the recipe because it sounded so good! And it did not disappoint.)

Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup --------------------------------------------------------------- - Author: Lindsay - Prep Time: 10 minutes - Cook Time: 3 hours - Total Time: 3 hours 10 minutes - Yield: 6 servings (a heaping 1 cup each) [Print Recipe]( [Pin Recipe]( Ingredients - 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts - salt and pepper - half an onion, diced - 2-3 cloves garlic, minced - a sprig of fresh rosemary (sub a small pinch of dried herbs) - a spring of fresh thyme (sub a small pinch of dried herbs) - 32 oz chicken broth - 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced - 1 package frozen peas and carrots (2-3 cups) - 2 tablespoons flour - 1 cup of heavy cream - 2 tablespoons cornstarch - fresh chopped parsley - 1 thawed sheet of puff pastry --------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions - Slow Cook: Place the chicken, salt and pepper, onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, broth, potato, and pea/carrot mix in a slow cooker. Cook on high for 3 hours. Remove the chicken, shred, and return to pot. Remove the herb sprigs and discard. - Make it Creamy: Whisk the flour, cream, and cornstarch together until smooth. Add to the slow cooker. Keep on high heat for another hour or so – it should start to gradually thicken. - Bake the Puff Toppers: Cut your puff pastry into triangles, circles, or hearts! Bake as directed (we did 375 for 10-15 minutes). - Serve: Stir the parsley into the soup to add a little fresh color. Divide the soup among bowls and top with the puff pastry. Yummy! Notes If you wanted to get the best possible color for your peas, I would chop up some fresh carrots and put those in right away, and just add your frozen peas at the end. For best results, warm the cream, flour, and cornstarch before you add it to the slow cooker. This helps the cornstarch activate and thicken the soup more quickly. Clancy’s original recipe didn’t call for cornstarch, and you could definitely make it without. But I added it because I wanted it to be super thick and creamy like pot pie gravy filling!
