½ cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped carrots
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

3. Bring stock and vegetable mixture to a light boil/simmer while stirring in the xanthum gum 1/2 at a time, whisking vigorously until well blended.

    I love chicken pot pie. I have added in chopped radishes in place of the potatoes and less carrots to keep carb count a little lower. I love the filling. Sometimes if I have made some almond bread I will just put some on top.
