Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Healthy Fact of the Day

This soup offers lean protein from chicken and vegetables providing fiber, vitamins, and minerals. To make it healthier, use milk instead of cream and increase the vegetable content. Consider adding mushrooms or green beans for extra nutrients. The flour can be replaced with pureed cauliflower or potatoes for a lighter thickening agent. Using skinless chicken breast keeps the fat content lower. To reduce calories further, skip the puff pastry and serve with whole grain crackers or a side salad. While comforting, the cream-based soup is calorie-dense, so consider portion size. The variety of vegetables provides different nutrients, making this a relatively balanced one-pot meal.
