Hi Debasmita, we don’t have a video for this recipe at this time. But you can check out our other videos here.
The nutrition information doesn’t list a serving size. What is the serving size please? Made this for dinner. It was great. Will make again!
So glad you enjoyed the soup Lorie! A serving size is one cup.
This was so yummy! I used canned chicken and made mine in the instant pot on manual for 5 minutes. Did a quick release and added the milk/cornstarch mixture.then I cooked it on saute until thickened. Will definitely make this again. The whole family loved
Great idea Jess! We are glad your family loved it!
It’s ok, if you’re the kind of person that thinks mayonnaise is spicy. Waaaay too bland.
This recipe turned out great. I ended up being impatient when it came to letting it thicken after adding the half and half mixture and transferred it to a pot to bring to a low boil! Definitely one we will make again!
I’m so glad you loved it Sam!! ❤️
Do you have any good/tried suggestions for the replacement of the half and half in the chicken pot pie slow cooker soup (dairy allergy)?
I’m sorry I have only tried this recipe as written. You could try a non-dairy cream and see how it works. Just ensure it’s not a coffee creamer as they’re often sweetened.
How much for the carrots?
1 1/2 cups peas and carrots mixture is used in this recipe Karen. Enjoy!
