Notes
- Homemade broth matters: Using homemade chicken bone broth makes the soup richer, more flavorful, and more nourishing.
- Cut veggies evenly: Dice carrots, potatoes, and onions into uniform pieces so they cook at the same rate.
- Shred chicken easily: Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks, or use a hand mixer on low for faster shredding.
- Thicken gradually: Mix cornstarch with cold water before adding to prevent lumps. Stir well as it thickens.
- Add peas last: Stir them in just before serving to keep them bright and tender.
- Cream alternative: Use half-and-half or whole milk for a lighter version, or swap with coconut milk for dairy-free.
- Make it biscuit-style: Serve with homemade biscuits or puff pastry on the side for the full “pot pie” experience.
- Season to taste: Taste before serving and adjust salt, pepper, or thyme as needed, especially if using store-bought broth.
