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:
- Oven Roasted Chicken – tender and juicy with a crisp, salty skin
- Instant Pot Whole Chicken – the fastest way to cook a chicken
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.
- Saute vegetables – melt butter and sautee onion, celery, and carrots and saute for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add mushrooms and garlic and saute 5 minutes.
- Add flour and saute 1 minute
- Add broth and potatoes – season with salt and pepper and simmer until potatoes are tender.
- Add Chicken, peas, corn, cream, and parsley – simmer 5 minutes.
- 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:
Common Questions
You can substitute chicken with shredded leftover turkey meat for a turkey pot pie, or use diced cooked ham.
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.
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.

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Can I make this soup dairy free by chance? Would coconut cream work? TIA
Hi Nataliya! I haven’t tested that but one of my viewers shared good results using full fat coconut cream.
Made this twice! First time with a rotisserie chicken. Second time with Chicken Breast! It is delicious and everyone loves it!
I’m sure the soup will taste good. But keep an eye out that when you slide the servings bar to get the right amount of ingredients for the servings you want, it jumps back to 10 servings randomly. Also, when you change the serving size it doesn’t change the text in the directions. ‘Ie serving size for five calls for 3 tbsp butter but written directions still call for 6tbsp’
Hi Tracey, that’s right, the written text will not update, you will need to reference the adjusted ingredient list of the amounts. It should not bounce back to ten however, I just tried it successfully and it allowed me to keep increasing the amount. It’s always good to verify of course, but I recommend using “cook mode” so the screen doesn’t auto refresh if your browser has an auto refresh. I hope these tips help. Happy cooking!
I have made this soup several times. Also made it for my brother when he was recovering from surgery, and served it to my Quilters group. They all asked for the recipe. It is so yummy and satisfying!
Loved this! Made it last night and it was excellent.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Corey!
So incredibly good! The recipe reads 3-4 teaspoons of salt..not 3/4 teaspoons of salt. I only used 2 teaspoons of salt thinking 3-4 was too much salt. I’m glad I did!!
