CHICKEN POT PIE SOUP

My husband has work meetings this week in Scottsdale, Arizona and we’re currently flying there as we speak. And by currently, I mean in the air now. Isn’t modern technology fascinating?

As we were all walking to the terminal (our family of seven) to check in for our flight, everyone rolling their own bag, I thought, “Wow. We’ve made it.” I didn’t want to even say it out loud to jinx it. Even writing it makes me feel like I’m challenging Murphy’s law.

But you guys, this whole traveling with five kids thing is getting easier (said in a whisper).

Two years ago if you told me I would be on a five hour flight to Arizona watching This is Us and blogging while my children sat quietly next to me watching a movie I would have laughed at you.

Back then it was like wrestling alligators for five hours. Wrestling alligators that pooped their pants, screamed, and spilled food all over you while kicking the chair in front of them.

It was like holding your breath for five straight hours hoping meltdowns didn’t happen and all the snacks and wipes you packed could last you. So yeah, we could go home right now (screw the vacation) and I would feel like I’ve already had my own vacation.

This Chicken Pot Pie Soup comes from my friend Carrian’s new cookbook Our Sweet Basil Kitchen filled with over 100 recipes. Carrian from Oh Sweet Basil is one of the very first bloggers I ever met and she was so kind and genuine. You can feel that in her cookbook.

This Chicken Pot Pie Soup tastes like home. It tastes like you’re in your momma’s kitchen. This homemade soup has just a few shortcuts to make it feasible for a weeknight meal.
