Healing AIP Chicken Pot Pie Soup

This creamy, hearty, chicken pot pie soup is a spin on traditional chicken pot pie – but without the crust! With all the same flavors and zest, this one-pot meal is perfect for meal prep and busy weeknight dinners.

Chicken pot pie is a classic dish – hearty, warming, and just so comforting. But it can be difficult to find a good AIP pot pie. And it’s time-consuming to make, not ideal for busy weeknights. 

Enter this chicken pot pie soup!

Made with all the same ingredients as the original pie, this soup tastes just like your favorite chicken pot pie but with even more healing foods such as bone broth and herbs! It’s thickened with celery root instead of starches such as arrowroot powder, which gives it an even deeper flavor and super creamy texture. 

If you’ve never cooked with celery root (also known as celeriac), it’s a root vegetable belonging to the same family as celery, with a mild celery flavor and starchy texture similar to parsnips. 

Celeriac can be a bit gnarly-looking and intimidating to prepare. The easiest way to prep it is by first cutting the stem end to create a flat surface, then removing any thick pieces of skin with a chef’s knife.

Next, use a vegetable peeler to remove the remaining skin. Don’t let celery root’s gnarly appearance stop you from trying it.

This hearty Chicken Pot Pie Soup is the perfect way to satisfy all your pot pie cravings!
