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 Natasha,
Is it possible to make this without the potatoes?
I love all of your recipes, they are always so delish!
Hi, yes, that would work. You could add more of other kinds of vegetables so it doesn’t seem thin.
If you make it without the potatoes, let me know how it turns out please. I was coming to ask this same comment. I do not like potatoes in my soup for some reason. Thanks!
Want to make chicken pot pie soup but I am dair free. What can I sub for the cream?
Hi Susan, I haven’t tried any dairy substitutions so I’m not sure how something like canned coconut milk would meld with the flavors.
I would simply leave it out. Oat milk doesn’t blend. Thicken with corn starch/water. I love Natasha’s recipes and we can’t have dairy in our house. So far so good. Clearly we can’t do an alfredo sauce but everything else has worked.
Do you think this same recipe would work in crockpot and put in raw chicken?
Hi Krissy, I haven’t experimented with that, but I think it’s worth a try.
Looks delish. I am going to try it.
One of the best soups I’ve ever eaten! I added a tiny bit of fresh thyme to it since I had it on hand. Will definitely make again! I’d also like to try with turkey or beef! A real winner, Natasha!
Hi Laura, I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you!
Needed a new soup to add to the rotation, and as soon as I saw this recipe I knew it was the one. Just tried this and we love it. Very good and oh, so comforting. I subbed frozen green beans for the corn because that’s what I had, and used a rotisserie chicken. Couldn’t be easier. Thanks for another winner!
I’m so happy you enjoyed this recipe, Rhonda! Thank you for that wonderful review!
Hi Natasha,
I have a Personal Chef Service and you are my goto chef for recipes that I like to serve my clients. Sometimes I make minor modifications but I have never used a recipe that isn’t just fantastic.
You’re so nice! Thank you for that wonderful compliment, Jon!
Hi, Natasha. I’m going to make that soup tonight! But … I simply MUST have that beautiful spoon you use at the end of your video, to serve. You mentioned in other comments that it’s available on your Amazon page, but I don’t see it. Is it out of stock, perhaps?
Hi Valerie, I am assuming they are out of stock and I will keep checking. Hopefully, it will return soon. In the mean time, I have added a comparable one to our shop.
Thank you for this recipe! I made it for supper tonight…..it was delicious!! Really appreciate your videos. Served it with crusty bread and a glass of red wine😉.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Natasha I love your recipes I watch you all the time. I think you are simply amazing!!!
You’re so nice! Thank you for that compliment and wonderful feedback!
This looks absolutely delicious. Look forward to making this soup. Can this soup be put into a crust and baked for chicken pot pie or is there a different recipe for that?
Hi Carol, we have a Chicken Pot Pie recipe here we recently published! I hope you give it a try!
A couple questions…
1. If I don’t have unsalted butter, what should I reduce the salt measurement to?
2. Is it better to mince the garlic, rather than putting it through a garlic press? If so, would you please explain why?
Thanks so much Natasha! 🙂
Hi Cheryl, you can use salted butter and just add the salt to taste. I would add 3 tsp initially and then add more at the end to taste.
Hi Cheryl, when sauteeing garlic for a longer time than 30 seconds to 1 minute, I like to mince it.
Thank you! Looking forward to trying this recipe soon…and also the Biscuits!! 😋
Loved this soup! It turned out so delicious!!! I made just a few changes…
1. Since I used salted butter I tried just under 3t. of salt. It was really good, but just a bit salty for our taste. Next time if I don’t have unsalted butter, I’ll try just 2t. salt.
2. I used A2 lowfat milk and that was really good. I decided not to thicken more; it was a nice consistency for us…just a little thickened but not quite to the level of gravy.
3. Since I don’t like peas and would rather not add corn, I subbed in fresh broccoli, chopped small, and fresh green beans, snapped to bite size. Yum!
Turned out delicious! Actually can’t wait to make it again soon!
Thanks for another winner Natasha!!
Thank you for sharing those wonderful tips/ substitutions with us Cheryl! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe!
Any suggestions how to avoid flour in this recipe? We are sensitive to gluten, thanks
Hi Tanya, check out the Common questions section where we share how to make it gluten free using corn starch.
Is there a link for the soup ladle used in this video?
Hi Rebecca, we have the ladle in our Amazon shop.
I don’t see the soup ladle on your Amazon shop?
HI Anna, thank you for letting me know. It looks like they may have sold out overnight. I added a similar one, but the exact one that I have isn’t there anymore. I’ll keep checking in case it comes back.
Thank you for making this and sharing!! This looks amazing!
I like that you offered a biscuit to go with it, rather than a crust. Soup weather is here in Ohio!
PS: where can we get one of those wooden ladels you use? I love it!!
Hi Deanna, you are so welcome. I hope you love this new Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe. We have the Ladle in our Amazon shop.
Can you freeze this chicken pot pie soup ?
Hi Diane, I haven’t tried freezing it and I”m not sure how it would work with the cream in it. Also, potatoes don’t usually freeze well. I would recommend enjoying this within 3-4 days of making it.
I will try this it looks delicious
Thank you William, I hope you love it!
Amazing recipe and I just loved how creamy it was!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Stephanie!
Hi! Is there a way to replace the heavy whipping cream with something else? I’m lactose intolerant.
Hi Tara, I haven’t tested anything else. Maybe canned coconut milk, but I haven’t tested that to see if the flavors would meld. You might do a google search for a dairy free chicken pot pie to see what others have used.
“Lactose Enzyme” tablet before eating. Otherwise you miss out on food like clam chowder with is so yummy. Thanks Natasha.
The weather is so yucky here today and this looks like the coziest dinner to serve! I know it’s going to be a hit.
I hope you love this recipe, Jen! It sure is perfect for this chilly January evening!
I can’t wait to give this a try! My family! Looks so delicious and tasty!
I hope you love this recipe, Beth!
