Chicken Pot Pie Soup is creamy, comforting, and hearty. It has all the comforts of classic Chicken Pot Pie without the effort of making a crust and it’s a one-pot meal.

Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie Soup

The key to making great chicken pot pie soup, is to adequately season. Be sure to taste and season at the end.

  • Aromatics Onions, carrots, celery, and garlic are cooked in butter as a base for flavoring the soup.
  • Mushrooms – sauteeing until golden adds a boost of flavor
  • Flour – just 1/3 cup thickens the soup to make it creamy
  • Chicken Stock – homemade bone broth will taste best, but storebought works.
  • Potatoes – we used Yukon gold
  • Chicken – light or dark meat works great
  • Peas and Corn – we use frozen peas and corn since we stock them in our freezer, but canned corn will also work.
  • Cream – heavy or regular whipping cream or even a light cream would work if you want a leaner soup.
  • Parsley – we love it in the soup for flavor and garnish with it to add color and freshness.

How to Cook the Chicken

We love using leftover rotisserie to make Chicken pot pie soup. You can use cooked chicken breasts or a store-bought Rotisserie Chicken. If you want to cook your own chicken, our go-to recipes are:

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Once you have all of your ingredients chopped and prepped, cooking this soup is easier than you think.

  1. Saute vegetables – melt butter and sautee onion, celery, and carrots and saute for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add mushrooms and garlic and saute 5 minutes.
  3. Add flour and saute 1 minute
  4. Add broth and potatoes – season with salt and pepper and simmer until potatoes are tender.
  5. Add Chicken, peas, corn, cream, and parsley – simmer 5 minutes.
  6. Season to taste and serve.

Kitchen Tip: A dutch oven is one of our favorite kitchen tools for making soup. This 5 1/2 Qt Dutch Oven is one of our most used tools. It conducts heat well and can go from the stove to the oven. A good pot can last a lifetime.

Serve With

Chicken pot pie soup is so hearty and loaded with tender chicken, potatoes, and veggies. It really is a meal in itself. We love to pair it with:

Chicken Soup Served with biscuits

Common Questions

Can I substitute the chicken?

You can substitute chicken with shredded leftover turkey meat for a turkey pot pie, or use diced cooked ham.

Can I make this gluten free?

You can use corn starch instead of flour. Combine 1/2 cup cold water with 2 Tbsp corn starch. Stir that slurry in with the cream in the last 5 minutes and let it simmer and thicken the soup.

How do I thicken chicken pot pie?

You can add a slurry of corn starch in water (see gluten-free tip above), adding it to reach your desired thickness.

Make-Ahead

Chicken pot pie will keep well in the refrigerator for about 3-4 days, depending on the freshness of your chicken. The USDA recommends refrigerating cooked chicken for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until hot.

I hope this Chicken Pot Pie Soup will become a new favorite for you. The best part is, you don’t have to spend time making a crust or wait for it to bake in the oven like you would a classic pot pie before you can enjoy it.

    This is The Mrs. here! I just love all of your recipes!! While I have not tried this recipe yet, I just heard a tip from a friend on making chicken soup. She said that, along with adding corn, one should also add the herb, saffron. I haven’t tried it yet, but I am about to!! Thought you might like to try that tip as well!! Keep up the good work, Natasha!! ❤️

    This recipe looks delicious. I was wondering if it could be done in the slow cooker with a couple of boneless skinless chicken breasts?

      Hi Corinne! I haven’t tested it through in the crockpot/ slow cooker so I can’t offer specific advice on that.

    This is the best recipe. I even made the homemade bone broth which is an another whole story. Suffice it to say after 2 cooking methods failed due to my IP and my slow cooker dying during the process I was worried that the bone broth would be terrible….well it was great and I think it made the soup so flavorful. My husband even said this was the best soup I have ever made.

    Hi there! In the chicken pot pie soup recipe, it looks to read 3-4 teaspoons salt. Is that right? Or is it 3/4 teaspoon salt?

      Hi Cathleen, we use “3.5 tsp salt, (or to taste)” in other words, three and a half teaspoons. I hope that helps.

    This is wonderful as a soup. I cook for my elderly father, and he would like it turned into a stew. Would I just cut down on the broth? What are your thoughts? Thank you!

      Hi Myrtle! I think that could work, or thicken with a little more cornstarch/flour. You may also consider the Chicken Pot Pie Casserole recipe which is a bit thicker.

    I have noted that you usually mince garlic rather than using a garlic press. What is the difference between these methods?

    Thanks for your response.

      HI Wendy, if I am sautéing or roasting something, I’ll usually mince (finely chop) the garlic. If I’m adding it to sauces, or something where I’m not doing much cooking of the garlic then pressing with a garlic press is an acceptable shortcut.

    I love actual chicken pot pie so I thought I’d give the soup a try. I should have known it would be delicious since I love Natasha’s recipes. Oh boy, it did not disappoint! Quick and easy to make with ingredients I always have on hand. The only change I made was the addition of poultry seasoning. Thank you Natasha for another amazing meal!

    I just wanted to add that I’ve made your chicken pot pie and everyone said it was the best the’ve ever had. My youngest son (mid thirties) has learned so much from you. He has taken over the cooking for he and his wife. It’s so wonderful watching him enjoy cooking and his wife is quite happy with the meals he makes.

      We substituted with pureed white beans, which is a common substitute for cream in soups. Tasted great! It didn’t have much of a bean flavor – just helped to thicken and add a touch of creamy texture. We’ll be making this again with the white beans this week.
