Chicken Pot Pie Soup is creamy, comforting, and hearty. It has all the comforts of classic Chicken Pot Pie without the effort of making a crust and it’s a one-pot meal.

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.

    Loved this recipe. I also made your no-knead bread. It was a hit. I made soup exactly as written. I plan to make it again but I will triple it for a large group and need to make it gluten free. How much corn starch should I use to replace the flour? Thanks so much for your great recipe’s.

    I love this recipe!! I have been making this one for a while, but found out a couple months ago that I needed to go Gluten Free. Just wanted to share for all my GF friends that I tried this with Red Mill’s Gluten Free 1 to 1 and it turned out amazing! Cooking with or making a roux with GF Flour in general is a bit trickier than regular flour, I would recommend adding the stock very slowly and stirring very well to reduce all those tiny clumps.

    My new favorite soup recipe! I don’t normally have cream so I used half and half instead, also a cup short on the chicken so I added a few more mushrooms, peas and corn. Still delicious! I have not found a single recipe from Natasha that we haven’t loved!

    I made the chicken pot pie soup tonight, and we all enjoyed it! Everyone went back for seconds- my husband, our three kids, and my brother-in-law who is in town visiting. My husband even said, “we need to add this to our meal rotation.” Next time, I’m going to replace the potatoes with gnocchi for a different variation, otherwise everything else is staying the same. Highly recommend this recipe!

    I have made this exact recipe (only had to sub low cal milk for cream) and it is absolutely delicous. My entire family had me make it today for the 5th or 6th time this year — and it is 90 degrees outside.!!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. It is one of the very bestI have ever found!

    This was amazing! I made a couple changes… I omitted the mushrooms, corn, and parsley, and added little rolled biscuit dough balls for the last 15 minutes when I added the chicken, peas, and whipping cream. This made little dumplings inside and it was sooooo delicious!! It would have been good without the dumplings but that was easier for me than making biscuits in the oven (I always burn them). Thank you for the recipe and video!! I just watched the video 20 times while prepping and didn’t look at the recipe once!

    Thank you for the recipe!

    I followed the recipe mostly but reduced the amount of butter and cream to make it lighter. I also added some chili pepper flakes to make it a bit spicy.

    I was delicious and a great way for people who like chicken pot pie to stay on the healthy side.

    Definitely will make this again.

    Made this today- used your recipe for baked chicken breasts for the shredded chicken (so I reduced the amount of salt added to the soup), and added cashew cream at the end to make it dairy free. YUM!!! Huge hit at our house! Natasha- I’m pretty sure I comment every day on your recipes- sorry for spamming your inbox lol!
