  • In the same Dutch oven heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil over medium heat. Add celery, carrots, onion, and garlic. Cook and stir for 8 to 10 minutes or until vegetables are just tender.

  • Add chicken broth to pot; bring to boiling. Add chicken, mushrooms, corn, and peas. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 8 minutes or until chicken is done and vegetables are just tender.

  • In a small bowl whisk together evaporated milk and flour. Add milk mixture to soup mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Stir in thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper. To serve, ladle soup into bowls and garnish with Pie Crust Leaves.

*Tip:

Dried herbs may be substituted for the fresh. Use 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed, and 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed. Add dried herbs with the chicken broth.

Really enjoyed this, the little pastry leaves "make" the chicken pot pie aspect. Perfect for the first foray into Soup Season. Obligatory "I changed the recipe" warning... I feel like chicken pot pie recipes always need more flavour, so I added a lot more garlic, more thyme, and a smidge more oregano. Family and friends were quite pleased with the result. I also like my stews to be a bit thicker so I added a bit more flour to the evaporated milk at the end. Finally, I didn't want to put such small amounts of leftover vegetables back in the fridge so I ended up using more peas, corn, and onion than the recipe called for. Other than the herbs, I don't think my changes affected the original recipe too much. It was a very wholesome and hearty and tasty, will definitely make this again.
