Chicken Pot Pie Soup

There is a crispness in the air.  Fall is here and soup weather has started.  I love soup.  To me, it is a great way to create amazing one pot meals that are both hearty and delicious:)   Today's recipe got its' inspiration from the classic comfort dish Chicken Pot Pie.

This soup has the same wonderful flavors of Chicken Pot Pie- carrots, peas, celery, onions, mushrooms, potatoes, and chicken.  These ingredients are cooked in a broth consisting of white wine, chicken broth, spices and herbs, and heavy cream.  Everything is simmered together and the soup is ladled into bowls and topped with a puff pastry round.  Talk about delicious.  A very appetizing soup that is hearty and rich.
