Ingredients

  • 2 cups chicken cooked and diced
  • 3 Tablespoons butter unsalted
  • ½ yellow onion diced
  • 3 celery diced, stalks
  • 1 cup broccoli chopped, fresh florets
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup milk I used skim
  • pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • ½ package pie crust I used Pillsbury, thawed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot, melt butter over medium high heat. Add onions, celery and broccoli and cook to soften about 3-5 minutes. Sprinkle with flour and cook an additional minute, stirring constantly. Slowly add broth, milk, cream, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Use a whisk to combine, then add in cooked chicken. Heat over medium heat until warm, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. To make crust strips, unroll thawed pie crust (for one crust). Cut into strips and lay on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 6-8 minutes, until browned. Remove from oven.
  3. To assemble, Pour soup into individual ramekins and top with shredded cheese and pieces of pie crust strips. ENJOY!

Notes

  • Leftover turkey after Thanksgiving and Christmas is a great idea. Comfort food is always a good option.
  • Keep it vegetarian. Skip the meat and add more vegetables. Swap in some potatoes, peas, carrots, and mushrooms!
  • Take away the heavy cream and substitute with fat free milk. You may want to add in an extra tablespoon of flour to help this soup thicken up.
  • Another way to cut calories would be to remove the cheese and pie crust dippers. I know. Those pie crust dippers are one of the best parts. But if you don't make them, you won't miss them. 
  • Use homemade pie crust if you prefer.
  • See blog post for more recipe tips and tricks.
