Serve Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup with Puff Pastry
This soup is delicious with cooked puff pastry (also known as phyllo dough). This dough is found in the freezer section at grocery stores. Follow the instructions on the box to thaw it to ensure it rises well during baking. Once it is room temperature, you can roll it with a rolling pin to make it larger or to repair any tears that might happen when you fold open the dough. Then cut the dough with a knife or a cookie cutter (if you want shaped dough). Brush with melted butter if desired and bake according to the package instructions.
Reheating the Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Reheat this chicken pot pie soup in the microwave or a pan on the stovetop. If it is too thick, add equal amounts of chicken stock and half-and-half to thin it.
