As the trees are changing and the air is starting to get more cool and crisp, you may be looking for recipes to bring in the Fall season. It’s bulking season folks! Here are a few delicious recipes to help bring some warmth to this chilly season!
1. No cold night is complete without a little bit of soup! So kick back, wear some fuzzy slippers, put on a scary movie, and enjoy this Chicken Pot Pie Soup!
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 425℉ and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out pie dough to a ⅛” thickness. Brush with egg wash and bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Let cool then then break into pieces.
-
In a large Dutch oven (or heavy bottomed pot) melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, carrots and celery and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more. Stir in flour, and cook until the flour is golden, about 30 seconds.
-
Add the water, broth, milk and potatoes. Bring to simmer, then reduce heat to simmer gently until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Season soup with salt, pepper and paprika. Stir in corn, green beans, peas and chicken. Cook until the peas and green beans are tender and the chicken is warmed through.
-
Garnish soup with parsley and serve with pie crust dippers.
2. Chicken is the most important food group for Fall. Almost every recipe has some form of chicken in it. Just because Fall is bulking season, doesn’t mean you can’t make something healthy! Try this Healthy Chicken Casserole!

Mix in prepared rice, prepared chicken and cranberries. Transfer mixture to baking dish, top with sliced almonds, and bake 20 minutes.
