#glutenfree #dairyfree Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup

So.  Yeah … this winter weather is cold.

TOO.  STINKING. COLD.

Even here in Texas — the more southern end, mind you, it’s cold.  We’ve had ice, snow, blustery winds, school delays, school CLOSINGS … all things we Texans are not used to.  Sure, the first hour of looking at icicles was fun but after the first couple of hours, we all realized we much more prefer our flip-flops and then we started whining.

And I started making soup.

‘Cause that’s what you (ok, ME) want when it’s cold and yucky outside.  I want soup and I want hearty, creamy soups.  I want all the coziness of my childhood.  I want it all in a great big, steamy bowl.

Chicken Pot Pie was always one of my favorite foods growing up … my Mama makes a killer one that is topped with perfectly soft biscuits (no pie crust for us).  I miss it.  It’s awesome.

But, now I can’t have wheat flour thickened dishes or flour biscuit topped recipes.  And, the Little Lady isn’t supposed to be consuming milk …. sooooooo this gluten-free and dairy-free Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup is what comes to the rescue for all of us.

I’ve made it over and over and over the past few weeks, perfecting it and loving it.  And this — the final version — is creamy, thick and full of all the flavor I love from my Mama’s Chicken Pot Pie.

(and, no — despite the coconut milk, it isn’t coconutty.  Just get that fear right out of your head.)

Now, if you DO wanna eat it with some biscuits, I’m in love with these grain-free biscuits from Satisfying Eats.  They light and delicious (and what inspired my Grain-Free Pizza Bites…. just an fyi).
