Start with a heavy-bottomed oven-safe pot and add a little olive oil.

Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Stir the vegetables until they are golden and soft, about a few minutes.

Add chopped zucchini and a little more salt, cooking until just softened.

Add potato starch to the pot, stirring vigorously to coat the vegetables and soak up the oil.

Pour in white wine, mixing it into the vegetables until thickened.

Add chicken stock and leftover chicken soup, bringing the mixture to a boil.

Shred cooked chicken and add it to the pot, ensuring a generous amount of chicken is included.

Pre-bake tater tots halfway to ensure even cooking later.

Top the chicken mixture with the pre-baked tater tots, arranging them evenly.

Sprinkle paprika over the tater tots for color and flavor.

Bake in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 45 minutes until golden and bubbly.
