Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Soup

During the cold winter months, there is nothing better to warm you up than a nice homemade bowl of soup!  From chowders to savory soups, it is the perfect way to warm up.  Some of our favorite soups start with a soup mix from Halladay Farms.  These are an easy way to start your soup and add all different veggies and proteins to the mix.  Today we are sharing our Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Soup and Homemade Biscuit Recipe, perfect for all of these chilly winter days.  If short on time, you can always use a store biscuit or one of the refrigerated biscuit doughs as a substitute.
