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.

I’m so glad you both loved it! It really is such a comfort dish. Thank you for the review.
Hi there you made my husband loves the recipe awesome Nat keep up the great work. one thing that i hate is pea and corn. so i used something else which is good.
thank Lisa
Hi Lisa! I’m so glad he loved the recipe. 🙂
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.
I was super excited to try this and even more ecstatic once I started eating it! Oh my goodness! It is amazing! The potatoes completely make up for not having a crust. Thank you for this awesome recipe!
Hi Julie! That’s great to hear. Thank you for sharing. I’m so glad you loved the recipe.
I made this soup and I’m getting requests almost every day to make it again. I had printed the recipe out for a friend but a relative stole the recipe when she wasn’t at her desk. ROFL!! It’s ABSOLUTELY the BEST soup! Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Hi Samantha! I’m so glad you loved the recipe. 🙂

Haha that’s great and I’m really happy to know that this is a huge hit!
Hi! Loved this recipe. I think I might have done something wrong, maybe didn’t adjust the spices well like you said was important but it was still really good.
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. 🙂
Lower fat version? What would you substitute? Trying to be healthier.
Hi Jennifer, a light cream would work if you want a leaner soup.
Hi Jennifer…..I don’t digest cream well so I used 1% milk and it was still delicious!
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.
That sounds so yummy! Thank you for sharing, Ann. 🙂
Could you just throw everything in a crock pot? Uncooked chicken as well?
Hi kristi, I haven’t tested this recipe in a crock pot to advise. If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
This is SUCH an amazing soup, a family favorite, and we’re having it tonight, waiting to watch the ball drop!
I’m glad you loved it, Carmela! Happy New Year!
Made this soup today – followed the instructions for gluten free – it was absolutely wonderful! Will definitely be making this again. Thank you for sharing such a great recipe.
Hi Kathy! I’m glad you loved the recipe. Thank you.
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.
You’re very welcome, Penny! I’m so glad you love my recipes! Thank you for sharing.
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!!!!
Hi Nancy! I’m so glad you loved the recipe. Thank you for sharing.
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.
Sounds good and happy to know that your family like this recipe!
Amazing. Followed the recipe to a T. I usually tweak a recipe. No need to with this recipe.
Hi Lisa! Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so glad it was perfect for you as written. We love this recipe and it makes me happy that you do as well. 🙂
FANTASTIC SOUP, we just love it. We have it almost every month.
I’m so glad it’s a favorite, Richard! Thank you for sharing.
Really delicious soup! My hubby made it tonight. We only had half and half and he subbed a mixture he had of parsley, oregano and basil on hand for the parsley. Turned out great. Your recipes are our go to for trying new dishes. Thank you!
Hi Christine! Thank you for trying and trusting my recipes! So glad you love them.
This soup is so very good.
The next day it is absolutely amazing!!! 😍
Love it!!!
So glad to hear that! Thank you for sharing.
O-M-G!! Guys! I thought I was going to fail! I was SO nervous! (Laughing) But….I DID IT! This soup version is A M A Z I N G! I just hope everyone likes it as much as I do. Thanks, Natasha, for sharing your recipe!
OH! I also made the biscuits! It really was easy! I thought I was going to have to go through a “trial and error” stage, but no. It turned out really good! Super soft and buttery!
Yay, great job to you! I’m so happy that your first try was successful.
