Comfort in a bowl, this creamy chicken pot pie soup has all of that delicious pot pie flavor in soup form. It is easy, delicious and will warm you to your core!
In a large soup pot, heat 1 Tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Season 2 boneless skinless chicken thighs with salt and pepper and brown chicken on both sides. It doesn't need to be cooked through, but it should get a nice color on the outside.
Cut the chicken into cubes and return to pot with ½ cup onion and ½ teaspoon garlic powder.
Add 5 cups chicken stock, being sure to scrape up anything on the bottom of the pan.
Add the 2 potatoes and 1 cup carrots and bring to a boil. Drop heat to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
Stir in 1 cup frozen peas.
Mix ¼ cup cornstarch into cold 1½ cups whole milk and then stir milk mixture and 1 teaspoon dried thyme into soup. Bring to a simmer to thicken.
Serve with warm biscuits or bits of baked pie crust.
