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:

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.

    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.

      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.

    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!

    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!

    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?

    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.

          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!!
