I just love this recipe. It’s creamy and despite having no crust it’s still filling and satisfying. Who doesn’t love easy, one pot meals? It’s another great recipe from Gina over atSkinnyTaste.com. This recipe can be made gluten-free too!
Since I am following Weight Watchers, I like using my points wisely and stretching them out A LOT. (I’ve lost nearly 20 lbs. ) But I love comfort food like chicken pot pie like everyone else. So I just had to try this lightened up soup.
Coincidentally, I am currently giving away some Blake’s Chicken pot pies (giveaway ends on 6/21). Grant loves these, but I am resisting the temptation. Just to compare, one serving of Blake’s is 10 PointsPlus for one cup and one serving of this chicken pot pie soup is 6 PointsPlus for 1 bowl. For those counting calories, the nutritional info. is includes below the recipe.

2 chicken bouillons
fresh ground pepper
pinch of thyme

I love pot pie and used to buy Marie Callender’s until I found out how bad they were for me. Now I just stick to making my own. I do make a crust for mine, just a top. This is a great meal on a cold winter’s day after shoveling some snow. The snow is just around the corner, it will be here before we now it!
This looks so good and creamy too and love that it’s so low on calories.
This looks yummy. I love soup and I like pot pie, so I bet this is a winner!
My family loves chicken pot pie and soup so I think this would be a winner in my house. The weather has been watm and nice here lately will have to give it a try on a cooler rainy day
