Chicken Pot Pie

I know there are probably 100 different ways to make a chicken pot pie.  I like to take the easy way out and use some pre-made ingredients to save time!  (I feel like the Food Network lady, Sandra Lee!) 
Tonight I kept it simple: chicken pot pie and a salad.

1 rotisserie chicken, pulled (dark and white meat)
1 small can of veg-all
1 small container of sour cream (8 oz)
1 can of cream of chicken
s & p
pre-made pie crust

Pull the chicken and place it in a mixing bowl.  Add all of the other ingredients to the bowl except for the pie crust. Lightly greast a circular pan (I used a quiche pan) with nonstick cooking spray.  Fill the pan with the chicken mixture and bake for 30 minutes at 350.  Pull out the pot pie and gently place the crust on top.  Cut a few slits to allow the steam to escape.  Bake this for about 10-15 minutes or until golden brown!  *You could also make it extra delicious by baking it in a pre-made pie crust pan and then topping it with the crust!*   

Sunday's Soup

I have had a craving for soup lately.  As it turns out the Georgia weather has started to resemble Fall and the timing was perfect!  For lunch today I decided to make something that would last for a few days and give me some good leftovers for work.  This butternut squash soup was so easy and fabulous!  I searched the Internet and pieced a few recipes together and came up with this! 

1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed into 1 inch pieces
1/2 of a yellow onion, diced
2 T butter
6 cups of chicken broth
dash of pepper
dash of nutmeg

Saute the onion for a couple of minutes and then throw in the butternut squash cubes.  Toss this mixture and allow the melted butter to coat all of the squash.  Cook for about 5 minutes on medium.  Add the stock and bring this to a boil.  Once boiling turn it to medium-low and allow it to simmer for 15 minutes.  Once the squash is soft (it should be tender and just falling apart) use a slotted spoon to pull out the squash and onions.  Place them in a food processor and puree.  Then place this puree back into the chicken broth.  Add the pepper and nutmeg.  Mix well and serve!  The color of this soup is so pretty...the picture doesn't do it justice! 

*I had to use my little tea/coffee cups and saucer just for fun!  My Aunt Karen also have me some embroidered napkins for a wedding shower present and I thought they were a cute addition to the picture! *
