Skip the crust and make this delicious Whole30 Chicken Pot Pie Soup, perfect for a cold winter night. This soup boasts tender chicken and sweet veggies in a rich, creamy broth. Put this on your dinner menu this week and dig in!
To start, you’ll simmer chopped baby gold potatoes in chicken broth until very soft — think mashed potato texture. Then transfer everything to a blender and blend with plain almond milk until the mixture is smooth. This gives us our creamy, dairy-free chicken pot pie base.
Next, you’ll sauté diced onion and minced garlic in a separate dutch oven or soup pot for your savory aromatics. (Don’t be surprised if this alone doesn’t bring some onlookers to the kitchen!) Then toss in your diced celery and carrots, chopped green beans, and diced chicken thighs with some salt and pepper. Sauté the mixture until the vegetables soften and the chicken browns a bit. This process will infuse the chicken with that comforting chicken pot pie flavor you know and love.
Then, add diced baby gold potatoes, broccoli and chicken stock to the pot along with the blended broth and simmer until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through. Stir in frozen peas and fresh herbs, then voila! Your Whole30 Chicken Pot Pie masterpiece is complete!
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days or in the freezer for up to six months. We hope you enjoy this delicious Whole30 twist on a comfort food classic!

Instructions
- To prepare your broth, simmer chopped baby gold potatoes in chicken broth for about 10 minutes, or until very soft.
