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.

    Can this be frozen with the heavy cream being added? I made this entire recipe and there are just two of us.

      Hi Diane! I haven’t tested it myself so I’m not sure how it would work with the cream in it. Also, potatoes don’t usually freeze well. Let us know how it is if you experiment with it.

      Hi Micki! I’m glad you loved the recipe! I would look over the instructions again to see if you possibly missed anything but you can definitely add more spices to your preferred taste if you’d like. 🙂

    Hi Natasha. This is a great recipe. Instead of biscuits I take puff pastry sheets, roll them slightly and bake. Served on top of the soup is fantastic! I do the same thing with a beef in red wine sauce.

    I just made this and it is wonderful!!! My family loves it. I was looking for a good soup for this cold wintery day and this hit the spot. I didn’t have any heavy cream, so I googled how to make it myself. It worked like a charm. Also, I didn’t feel like cutting up potatoes or carrots so I used canned potatoes and frozen mixed veggies. It turned out great. I love all of your recipes and I have a homemade recipe book full of your stuff and I have made probably most of them. Thank you for sharing the most amazing and easy to follow recipes.

    Love every one of your recipes that I have ever tried! The soup was so good. The only thing I did wrong was, I should’ve started with a smaller amount of salt…. Because, as you well know, you can’t take salt out once you put it in lol! Yummy!!!!

    My family is crazy about this!! I added more of everything. I doubled the garlic and a little bit of spicy. I used grandmas egg noodles instead of potatoes. They are thick and let them dry in flour.
