Roasted Chicken & Potato Soup

A cup of piping hot soup on a chilly day, is a perfect company, right?😀 Here comes a creamy warm and so flavorful chicken and potato soup with very basic ingredients that you will fall in love with! Yes without any thickening agent and mess you will get a warm bowl of healthy soup which is filling and soothing!

Here the chicken and potato are roasted on high flame to make it more flavorful and once its boiled and cooked grind some of the pieces to smooth paste to make it creamier and rich! Almost like cream of chicken soup with some spices and herbs in it that adds an extra kick to the soup!

Garlic Bread is an inevitable combo with this soup. That garlicky crunch along with the creamy soup is a match made in heaven I must say! I made it for Jorenq Cook Along! Those who are following me from the beginning may know about Jorenq as I mentioned a couple of times before in some of my posts. For those of you who don’t know it is a lively food group in FB! I’m so overwhelmed with the response they had shown, i mean many of them tried and shared the pics with the most valuable feedbacks which is so precious for me! 😀😍
