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.

Can I put dumplings on top of the chicken pot pie soup while it cooks. This way I don’t have to make biscuits.
Hi Pam! I think that could work. Some of my readers have shared making dumplings with this soup.
Can your unbaked chicken pot pie be frozen ahead of time and baked later?
Hi Judith, I haven’t tried freezing it before or after baking 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.
Just made this soup and it is absolutely wonderful! Love it!! The video was really helpful too! I did reduce salt to 3 t. And a little less than 1/2 t. of pepper! Thank you for this recipe!!
So glad you enjoyed this soup!
Delicious definitely love chicken pot pie, but high in calories. I feel so much better eating homemade and taste better than the restaurants.
Homemade is better, glad you loved this!
can you use something other than whipping cream – something non-dairy?
Can this soup be frozen?
Hi Jenn! I haven’t tested a dairy-free alternative but I think you could substitute it with a dairy-free cream. One of my readers also mentioned using dairy-free yogurt with good results. We usually don’t have leftovers to freeze but the chicken pot pie recipe freezes great so I assume this will as well.
I think you’re a genius in the kitchen! Made everything in the soup until my husband took over. We are going to love it!
Thank you, Shannon! I’m so glad you love my recipes.
Fixing this tonight, for a get together with friends! Instead of doing it on the cook top, I am doing it in my insta- pots. I am hoping everyone will be raving about it. I also baked a empty already pie shell to give the affects more of a pot pie taste.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was a hit!! For protein, I set aside 2 cups of the broth and used it to cook frozen chicken in the instant pot, then shredded and added all of that back to the soup pot. Due to allergies/preferences, skipped the mushrooms and corn and used gluten free flour. It came out perfect! Will re-make.
Good to know that some of the changes that you made worked well in this recipe! Thanks a lot for sharing that with us and for giving this recipe a nice review.
Hi…I love all the ingredients on this soup and would like to try it. Can this recipe be put in freezer?
Hi…I love all the ingredients on this soup and would like to try it. Can this soup be frozen?
Hi Jane! 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 cannot get over how amazing this soup is!! So so yummy and perfect on this cold winter day. I made it exactly as the recipe called for except left out the mushrooms. I will definitely make this again! Thank you! Mmmm 😋
Aaaw thank you, Lisa for your awesome review!
Substituted cabbage for celery, and some veggie broth/bouillon for chicken broth, and half and half for the whipping cream. Added a bit more flour to thicken it some more. It was a little too salty for my family, so I added more cream and water. Was delicious!
Thank you for the feedback! So glad your family loved it!
Hi – I am looking forward to trying this recipe. I need to get some clarification of how to cut the potatoes – you say to slice into 1/4 inch pieces. After you slice do you cut those slices into small pieces – like a 1/4 inch diced cube? Thanks in advance!
Hi Donna! Watch my video in the blog post above to see my process at about 3mins.
I made this tonight for dinner and it was delicious. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because it took much longer than the 15 minutes prep time.
I’m glad you loved it, Judy!
Natasha,
Tried this soup for a soup party and won!!! This soup is delicious ..
