True Comfort: Chicken Pot Pie Soup over Mashed Potatoes

"Now that the cold weather is coming we are going to need our comfort foods. This recipe will satisfy anyone on a cold winter night. I don't particularly like soups myself but this version turns it into almost a stew. I guess a real 'stoup', steaming mashed potatoes with gravy over them, chicken and veggies and even a pot pie decoration :). I add just a couple tablespoons of dark rum or brandy to it; it gives a touch of extra depth. I found this recipe on chaosinthekitchen.com and have had it open for days so I don't lose it, finally posting it here. She suggests using separate frozen veggies, if you go frozen, since they are normally more tender than the frozen mixed vegetables but either way, or fresh, of course. She also has a recipe for puff pastry stars if you want to add that."

  1. Oh my goodness, so nice, so easy! made for a fab dinner, and my husband was thrilled with the mash, which he likes and I rarely make. Apart from adding sliced zucchini to the frying onions, simply because I had some to use up, I made no changes.Oh, I didnt have mushrooms (sorry, forgot about that), but since I dont particularly like them, no loss ;) I didn't have brandy, so used sherry. I will definitely be making this again, thanks for sharing!! Made for International Agents of QUEST, USA Southern Region
     
  2. This is SOOOO good! I skipped the butter, didn't feel it was necessary. I used a gluten free flour, and only 1/4 cup was plenty. Added a salt-free poultry seasoning, celery instead of green beans. Wonderful dish, and versatile. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, toast, or with crackers.
     
  3. This was a good down home dinner. It is also lower in fat then your traditional pot pie. I subbed celery for mushrooms and reduced the liquid just a bit. I also sneaky chefed the mashed potatoes with pureed zucchini and no one could see it under the pot pie sauce! Thanks for a good dinner. Update: Had this with rice today for leftovers - better then last night!!
     
  4. Nice hearty soup! It really did pack all the punch of a chicken pot pie. It was great with the mashed potatoes. Thanks for sharing! Culinary Quest '14
     
  5. Yummy comfort food. I made this as directed but used some frozen mixed veggies. Very good on a cold rainy day. Thanks for sharing. Made for Best of 2012 Tag.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/527607/cookswithcattitude.jpg I am a middle aged foodie who has had the luxury of living all over the world except asia. Lived in or grew up in Nigeria, Kenya, Chicago, Russia,and haiti. born in New Zealand, brother born in Austria and many more. I have chronic medication resistant depression after 10 years on anti depressants that worked well but would stop working after a year or two, so now do my best at home living on disabilty. Not a bad thing, many have far worse health issues but i have been able to concentrate on food/cooking. My main passions are my cats. I live in the woods and somehow many starving strays or "dumps" have found the message babies who passed on left in the woods saying "suck lives at xxxx road. Most arrive sick and/or starving. Right now i have 2 that arrived with feline herpes and their attendant 2ndry bacterial infections but are doing beautifully. One old man who was going to be euthanized bc a lady who found him as a stray was moving and didnt want him...well he was a biter and rather grumpy who was in ICU for 3 days with a deadly gut infection which was fixed but he left with a diagnosis of diabetes. 3 months on insulin and finally diet controlled and he caught the herpes virus, respiratory symptom version and turned into a cuddler. Butterscotch must think "why didnt i figure out this cuddle stuff was great before i got sick!" Doing wonderfully even though he has bouts. he and the other kids are my babies. Sadly Butterscotch died of Lymphatic cancer in winter of 2008. A year before Big Boy arrived in my life, starving and weak. Full of affection he jumped into my arms and stayed, turns out he has FIV (cat hiv) so he needs to be watched closely. I love him dearly <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b280/carolinamoon21/Stockingswapcopy.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg">
