This is one of my favorites. I love it as these winter days get colder and colder. It’s so much fun to warm up with a bowl of soup and why not chicken pot pie soup. There are a couple of twists on the old classic in my recipe – I know it will be loved by all. Keswick, let’s settle into the fall season with this classic.

- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter,
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
- salt & coarse ground black pepper, to taste

- 2 cups chicken stock
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup fresh cut green beans
- 2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
