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 Tash ! I have made this a couple times and it is good. I want to add 5 drumsticks and 2 shredded boneless skinless breasts next time. Too much chicken? And use 2 more potatoes instead of mushrooms. Would that work?
Hi Jack, now that you’ve made it a few times and have an idea of what the typical flavor and consistency are, I’d say it’s safe to make adjustments to your liking. I haven’t tried those specific additions to know if you need to add more liquid or not, but it’s worth a try! I hope you love it!
I wanted to love this but it was so salty. I’d make it again using half the salt.
Hi Amber, I haven’t heard that feedback about it being too salty – I wonder if maybe you mismeasured when the salt was added? As written, it is very well balanced for salt, but I understand everyone has a different affinity for salt (and various chicken stocks have varying amounts) which is why we always recommend adding salt to taste. You can always add more but you can’t take it out.
I have made so many of your recipes and they’ve all been good but for some reason this is my favorite!! I’ve always loved chicken pot pie but never loved the crust so this is perfect. The whole family loves it when I make this. Thank you!
Hi Sandy! That’s wonderful to hear. So glad you loved the recipe. This is our favorite crust!
Very good – the recipe came together very quickly. Do you know how large one serving is (in cups)?
Hello Lyn, good to know that you liked it! I didn’t measure it that way but this whole recipe serves 10 people, I would divide the whole recipe by 10 so you can get exact per-serving size.
This has become my favorite soup and my “go to” when preparing a meal to deliver to someone. It never fails that they want the recipe after eating it. It’s easy and delicious.
It’s a comforting soup indeed! Thank you for your lovely comment, Sandy! I’m glad you enjoyed this soup!
I LOVE this chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe. Does it freeze well?
Great to hear, Lori! Potatoes don’t usually freeze well. I would recommend enjoying this within 3-4 days of making it.
AMAZING FLAVOR. COMFORT FOOD AT ITS BEST! First-time recipe that did not require any modifications or enhancements for the next time. Soup tasted absolutely delicious from the first spoonful to the bottom of the bowl. Followed recipe as is other than GF flour substitution due to wheat intolerance. This easy recipe is definitely a keeper! Thank you for bringing so much fun and passion to what you do. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Christiahnna!
This is my favourite soup and so easy to make. I love it 😍
Yay, that’s wonderful! Thank you for your good feedback.
I made this recipe for our office Valentine’s Day “Soup for the Heart and Soul” Potluck luncheon. To say it was a hit would be an understatement. Everyone loved it. I made small heart shaped biscuits to top each bowl. It was fantastic. I love all of Natasha’s recipes, but this one was amazing!!
Ah, thank you, Eileen! I’m so glad to hear that. I appreciate the feedback and review.
This was amazing! You’re my favorite chef and the amount of effort you’ve made to ensure every recipe is spectacular shows.
I subbed in white pepper here for that kind of additive KFC gravy flavor which took it over the top. Yum!
Hi Tim! Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback. I’m glad you loved the recipe.
Can I leave out the dairy?
I love your recipes! We are looking forward to trying more of your salmon recipes!
Hi Janelle! Thank you. I’m glad you enjoy them. I have not tested a dairy-free alternative but one of my readers reported using full fat coconut milk and they could not taste the difference.
I forgot to do the flour part, would it work if I added the flour straight to the soup?
Hi Bethany! I think that would be fine. You’ll have to add a little bit of soup or water until you make a smooth mixture. Stir this back into the soup and bring it to a simmer. Let us know how it works.
Try adding some mashed potato flakes. Always good for thickening soups and stews and you can add it any time during the cooking process.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us!
This was so yummy! We loved it. I would say it’s definitely not 10 servings. Maybe more like 5. 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hard to find Yukon gold potatoes all the time. Can you recommend another potatoes
Hi Mark, when looking for a substitute for Yukon Golds, choose another waxy potato such as Red Bliss or another red potato. Baby or Fingerling potatoes are also good options. I hope you love this recipe!
You are my “Go To” girl! Love all your recipes. This was another winner. I just want you to know that I am lactose intolerant so I always substitute the whipping cream (or half & half, milk etc.) with full fat canned coconut milk. You can not tell the difference and it adds the creaminess with a good healthy fat. Yum!! Thank you! You are the best!
Hi Vickie! That’s wonderful to know, thank you for sharing that with us.
I appreciate the love and support, so glad you love my recipes.
Does the full fat canned coconut milk have both solid and liquid in it? and if so, do you use both?
Try coconut cream (not cream of coconut, they are different) for an even creamier substitute.
Second time making recipe. Now, my wife’s favorite soup! Friends coming over tonight for “friends dinner night” should be a great hit. Thank you!
That’s great, George! I hope they all love it!
How would this go blended? My son is ASD3 and only likes smooth soups and I think this looks delicious so if I can blend some for him and us have like this then I definitely want to try!
Hi Chloe! I think it could work well, if you don’t mind blending up the chicken. The flavors in the soup are great and you can use a little more broth to thin it out if it’s too thick
Our new favorite! My son said, “mom this taste like it came from heaven.” Lol. Best compliment ever. Thank you for another great recipe!
Aww, that’s the best! That is the best when kids love what we moms make. That’s so great!
Oh. I also added 2 parsnips along with the other veggies because I had them on hand and my family loves them. That was the only change I made. ❤️
Sounds delicious!
I made this recipe today, it was so delicious. There is nothing better then a thick hearty soup. I pit the food in my calories counter and got a bit more calories the Natasha. But still for a meal it’s worth it just won’t be able to have a biscuit 🥺
I’m glad you loved it, Tammie! Thank you for sharing.
