Combine the best of both worlds, creamy soup and chicken pot pie. It's much easier to make than chicken pot pie and just as good.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
half an onion, diced
2–3 cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig fresh rosemary (or a small pinch dried)
1 spring fresh thyme (or a small pinch dried)
32 oz. chicken broth
1 large russet potato, peeled and diced small
1 package frozen peas and carrots (2–3 c.)
2 T. flour
1 c. heavy cream
3 T. cornstarch
1 thawed sheet puff pastry
freshly chopped parsley
Place chicken breasts, onion, garlic, rosemary, thyme, broth, potato, vegetable mix, salt and pepper in a slow cooker. Cook on High for 3 hours or on Low for 6-7 hours. Remove/discard herbs sprigs. Remove chicken; shred; return to slow cooker.
Whisk flour and cream together in a small bowl until smooth; add to slow cooker; stir. Keep on High heat for about 1 hour. For a thicker soup, whisk cornstarch with a little bit of cold water; add to soup in the slow cooker.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut puff pastry into triangles, circles, or hearts, as desired. Bake as directed on package for 10-15 minutes.
Stir fresh parsley into the soup. Serve, topped with the puff pastry.
