CREAMY CHICKEN POT PIE
I got this recipe from my husband's step-grandmother and it is delicious and easy. I normally cut down on the ingredients because its just the 2 of us eating but it is so yummy and easy! I also use a frozen pie crusts and tear apart the crusts and put it and the chicken mixture in a pyrex dish-so much easier!!

Steps:
- Sauté onion, celery, potatoes and carrot in butter for 10 minutes.
- Add flour to sautéed mixture, stirring well; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Combine broth and half and half, also add ½ cup water; gradually stir into vegetable mixture.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly.
- Stir in salt and pepper.
- Add chopped chicken, stirring well.
- Pour chicken mixture into a greased shallow 2 quart casserole. Top with pastry pie crusts.
- Cut slits to allow steam to escape.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
- ** I add a little bit more half and half and add some water because otherwise it thickens too much. Don't let it get too thick before you pour it in the container to bake. The first time I made this it was too thick and ended up being a little dry by the time we got to eat it. So when it starts to thicken, go ahead and combine chicken with it and put it into the oven.

CREAMY CHICKEN POT PIE SOUP
I wanted this soup to be a cross between a chicken pot pie and chicken soup and I believe this recipe hits the mark.

Steps:
- Put 1/2 inch of water in a large pan over medium heat; bring to a simmer, about 2 minutes. Place chicken in the simmering water, cover, and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and shred when cool enough to handle.
- Melt butter in a large pot. Add flour and stir continuously with a wooden spoon or whisk until a thick paste forms; continue cooking roux for 2 minutes. Add evaporated milk; stir until incorporated. Add chicken broth and stir until no lumps remain. Bring to a boil.
- Add potatoes, carrots, chicken bouillon, pepper, and salt; cook until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- Add shredded chicken and frozen peas and corn. Cook until heated through, about 5 more minutes.
