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.

Very yummy! Another reliable recipe from Natashas kitchen! My deviations from recipe is using full fat coconut milk instead of heavy whipping cream, left out corn, doubled carrots and celery.
Thank you for sharing, Sonya!
This is an amazing soup! Followed the recipe & it was delicious.
That’s wonderful, Julie! I’m glad it was a hit.
Amazing! I used leftover smoked turkey from Thanksgiving, added a little thyme, used a can of mushrooms because I had no fresh ones on hand, and half and half plus some butter in place of heavy cream since I was out of it. We both enjoyed it very much and there are lots of leftovers. Thank you for the fabulous recipe!
You’re very welcome, Shannon! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
This pot pie soup recipe turned yesterday’s leftover turkey into today’s masterpiece! 🍲
Hi Liz! Isn’t it so good? We love using leftover Turkey in this. So yummy.
Hello! We love this recipe and we’re wondering if it would work for a pot pie filling if we reduced and removed most of the broth?
Thank you!
Hi Lucy! I’m so glad you love the recipe. I recommend my chicken pot pie recipe for that since all the measurements are specifically for a pie.
Fantastic Soup. I love chicken pot pie but I do not bake. This is the next best thing, maybe even better.
Winter is coming here on PEI and my boyfriend is a farmer. Nothing better than coming in from doing chores on a cold day to a beauty, hearty soup. This fits the bill. Made it last week and making it again today. I’m going to eliminate the mushrooms this time and add some turnip. I know it’s going to be amazing. Love your recipes Natasha!
Thank you for your lovely comment, MayBeth! There truly is nothing better than a warm and cozy soup for dinner after a cold day. I’m so glad you both enjoyed it.
My husband and I absolutely love this soup! I usually make either biscuits or rolls to have with it. This soup is the ultimate comfort food!!! For those wondering, I freeze it and it seems to be fine when I thaw and reheat.
Thank you for sharing that with us, Kathy!
I made this soup today for supper and it was so good. I did all the prep first and it was ready in minutes, and tasted great.
Hi Mike! That’s great to hear. I’m so glad you loved it.
I see the soup will keep in the refrigerator for a few days, but I’m wondering if I’ll be able to freeze the soup?
Hi Laura! Potatoes don’t generally freeze well. Let us know if you experiment with it.
I make this soup all the time, it is one of my families favorites! I also freeze it and it freezes and heats back up very well.
Thank you for sharing that with us, Mitzi!
I freeze soups (including this one) and stews with potatoes in them all the time. I don’t notice any difference with I thaw and reheat. I freeze in meal size portions. I love keeping my freezer stocked with soups and stews during the colder months.
Excellent! First I’ll describe the setting. Mid 40’s and raining in Upstate New York. This soup was the perfect call. It was creamy with plenty of chicken and veggies for every bite. We made biscuits to go along with it. Super easy to make. We used a rotisserie chicken and it was perfect. I highly recommend this recipe! Natasha you never let me down!
Thanks so much, Tim for your great comments and recommendation. We appreciate your feedback!
Fantastic!! Even my three-year-old granddaughter loved it, and she is a difficult one to satisfy. The only changes made were to lower the salt to two teaspoons as I was using the breasts from a Costco rotisserie chicken, and eliminated the parsley as we did not have any. Another great recipe.
I’m so glad it was a hit. Thank you for sharing!
I have made the chicken pot pie soup couple times. My family really enjoyed it 😋😋.
That is the best when family love what we parents make. That’s so great!
So I followed the recipe exactly with an addition of green Chile because I’m from NM and we put it in everything, but I typically wait to salt and pepper at the end which following this recipe I did half way. After I ended up tasting it, I instantly regretted it. Now looking at comments I see I’m not the only one. Super sad because it’s a large portion I feel like I kinda wasted but definitely a lesson! The flavors and everything else was awesome just wish I would’ve waited. I tried adding a little more cream nothing worked 🙁 definitely will be making it again omitting the salt! 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing that with us, Samantha
Next time something is too salty put a whole peeled potato in it. The potato helps suck up the salt. Then take the whole potato out when ready to eat. It really works.
That is really smart!! Thank you for sharing that great tip.
Another Hit!!!. I just finished making this and it is soooo good. Cut back on the salt and added a little Chicken Bouillon. This is another great recipe!!! Thank You again Natasha. HUGS from Canada
You’re very welcome. So glad you loved it!
can I leave out mushrooms with out affecting taste? Hubby doesn’t like them.
Hi Bri! That would be fine. Many of my readers have done this.
This soup was amazingly delicious!!! All your food is awesome! This one, no exception. Thank you Natasha 😊 it barely lasted 2 days.
I’m so glad you loved it!
I’m going to try this recipe tonight, I wanted to add pot pie noodles into it. When do you think I should add the noodles? Also should I use more stock being that the noodles may thicken the soup?
Hi Jen! I’m not familiar with pot pie noodles but I assume it would be ok to add them to this. Either cook them in a separate pot of water and add them at the end, or if you are cooking them in the soup, you can follow your package instructions for the timing and add them according to that. You can use more broth to your preference to water it down if it’s too thick.
Really good soup.
Thank you for great recipes
This recipe will be a favorite for
My family and friends.
Thank you for your good comments and feedback!
This was delicious! I didn’t have mushrooms, and I use milk instead of heavy cream, but it was still delicious.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Robin!
Hello, made this soup so many times. I wonder if I freeze this soup?
Thank you
Hi Sneha, Potatoes don’t usually freeze well. I would recommend enjoying this within 3-4 days of making it.
Delicious soup recipe. The only substitution I made was to use half and half and I only had 4 cups of chicken stock on hand so used better than bouillon chicken and some water to supplement and it came out delicious. Thank you so much! Bringing this to a friend who just had a baby. Keep up the great work!
You’re so welcome, Sarah! I hope your friend will enjoy it too. Thanks so much for your review.
