Tips to employ when working with your turkey pot pie recipe with cream of chicken soup
1. Add white wine to your list of ingredients. What white wine does is to help with the richness your soup’s flavor. If you do not feel comfortable adding wine to your food, you can just work with the chicken or turkey broth. But then, you would need to work with more of the broth.
2. Somewhere in the process of making the turkey pot pie, diced potatoes were included. Instead of waiting for the potatoes to cook over the fire, you can just place the potatoes in the microwave for some minutes. That way, when you add them into the major mix when they have cooked to some extent. What this does is to reduce the time the major mix spends on fire.
3. Adding cooked chicken to the major mix will also help to save a whole lot of cooking time. If you have some leftover chicken or turkey bits, you could just shred them into pieces and add them to the mix. Make sure you remove the bones.
4. If you don’t want you soup too creamy, you can add milk instead of heavy cream. Milk gives your soup a peculiar lightness that you’d definitely enjoy.
5. This recipe will never be complete if you do not add your veggies. However, when making your veggie choice, ensure that you pick out the ones that can still remain crunchy even after they have been subject to a whole lot of heat.
6. If you want a gluten-free soup, work with gluten-free flour. The general-purpose flour is a rich source of gluten. Cornstarch flour is also another option you can go for.
7. To ensure that you do not get irritated with your soup shortly after eating it, add in generous pepper shakes. Black pepper or cayenne pepper works great for this purpose.
