Slow Cooker Chicken Potpie Soup
Potpie:
-
1 + ½ lbs. boneless, skinless chicken breasts (diced)
-
1 pint cremini mushrooms (quartered)
-
1 sweet onion (diced)
-
3 carrots (peeled and diced)
-
3 stalks celery (diced)
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
3 garlic cloves (minced)
-
2 cups chicken broth
-
1 bay leaf
-
1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
1 15-oz. can peas (drained)
-
1 15-oz can corn (drained)
-
½ cup heavy cream
-
⅓ cup chopped fresh parsley
Biscuit Topping:
-
One 16-oz. package biscuits
-
1 large egg
-
1 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
-
¼ cup chopped fresh chives
-
In the bowl of a slow cooker, combine the chicken, mushrooms, onion, carrots, flour, and garlic cloves. Add the broth, bay leaf, and thyme. Turn the slow cooker on until the chicken is tender, about 7 hours.
-
Season the soup with salt and pepper. Stir in the peas, corn, and heavy cream. Cook the soup until it’s warmed through for about 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put the biscuits on the baking sheet. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water and brush an even layer on each biscuit. Top each biscuit with shredded cheese.
-
Bake until the biscuit is fully baked and the cheese is golden brown, 15-17 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then garnish with chives.
-
To serve, ladle the potpie into bowls and top with chives and a biscuit.
