Chicken Pot Pie Soup

 1 family size pack of chicken thighs, skinless and boneless (about 10)

2 1/2  boxes of lower sodium chicken broth 

1 heaping tablespoon of " better than bouillon chicken flavoring"

2 cans of carrots

1 can of diced potatoes

1 cup chopped celery

1/2 bag of frozen peas

1 cup chopped onion

1 family size can of Campbells cream of mushroom

1 family size can of Campbells cream of chicken

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning

1 Bag of pot-pie noodles ( usually flat large square noodles)

In a large stock pot, place onions and celery chicken broth, Better than Bouillon, and chicken thighs ( trimmed of any fat). Cook until thighs are done.

Remove chicken to a plate and cut into bite size pieces.

Return to the  pot.

Next add carrots, potatoes, peas, both cans of soup and seasoning. 

Simmer for about 30 minutes . Add noodles and allow to simmer for 30 to 40 minutes on low. This will allow the noodles to cook, and the soup will thicken a bit. 

This recipe makes a very large pot, perfect for a family dinner, or extra for freezing. 

NOTE: Chicken thighs work best with this. I find chicken breast meat tends to be dry. 

WELCOME FALL! IT'S OFFICIALLY SOUP SEASON!
