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 make this all the time and it is always a hit, along with your chicken pot pie. I like to serve this soup with homemade biscuits, using your recipe, of course. I’ve learned so much from you. Thank you!
Aww, this comment made my day Tania! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Just made this but made healthier modifications. Reduced butter by 2tbs. Used brown rice flour instead of regular flour. Used 2%milk instead of heavy whipping cream. Added green beans. Substituted egg noodles for potatoes. So delicious!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the recipe, Julia!
I omitted the carrots cause I just don’t like carrots. Added broccoli instead. Delish I must say.
I’m glad you loved it, Tina! Broccoli sounds like an amazing addition.
I’m having a dinner party for 5 people and I thought I would make this hearty soup. How many does this recipe serve?
Hello Jan, it serves 10 people. You can adjust the serving size by sliding the number of servings in the recipe.
I plan to make this but wondering if I can freeze the leftovers?
Hi Janet! Several of our readers have reported good results with freezing this soup.
Made this on this rainy day, and it is truly delicious! Had to add quite a bit of spices, but that’s just me being a little spicy!
One little suggestion to give some chicken pot pie finesse is to bake a premade piecrust in the tin for 10 to 12 minutes, and then break it up and drop the crumbles over the top of each bowl as serving. Will definitely make this again! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing, Isabelle!
was pretty good. followed recipe, only added about 1/4 tsp of thyme. I’ll make it again. thanks.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you loved it.
I will be making the chicken pot pie soup. I love your recipes. So easy and delish. Thank you

Thank you for the great feedback, Suzanne!
Easy to follow recipe- like all of yours! It’s delicious!!!
Thank you, Sandy! I’m glad to hear that.
Thanks for your good comments, Sandy!
question- if I follow all directions to a T but sub out the heavy whipping cream for a can of (gasp!) cream of chicken soup.. would this work to thicken it up? I love all your recipes and this one especially….but I can’t do cream in my soups. Thank you!
I have not tested this with cream of chicken. You might have to experiment a bit but I think it could work. Let us know how it turns out.
I have used 2% evaporated (NOT condensed) milk (for the thickness of cream without the fat) along with a little half and half (for the cream flavor) in place of cream and it works well
This was fabulous and I didn’t change a thing, which is very unusual for me! My grandchildren made me promise that I would make it again and again for them!
That’s so great, Mimsie! It sounds like you found a new family favorite!
Absolutely delicious! Will 100% be making again. Both my husband and I were big fans. I went a little heavy-handed on adding the veggies, which was perfect. It was a tad too salty but this could have been me shredding up a store-bought rotisserie chicken so be mindful of that.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Morgan!
This is sool good. Made some biscuits to go with it. 👌🏼
Yum! We love biscuits with this soup. Have you tried our chicken pot pie casserole recipe?
For anyone who doesn’t eat meat. I added two cans of chickpeas and a little thyme. It turned out fantastic.
Thanks
Thank you for sharing that with us, RS!
This was very good! We added 1/2 tsp mustard powder and 1tsp Worcestershire. The broth is super creamy and rich. We used unsalted stock and the salt called for in the recipe was perfect (and we love salt in this house).
Awesome! Thanks a lot for sharing your experience with this recipe. We’re so glad that you enjoyed it!
It’s good but bland. I added white pepper, thyme and rosemary. Just my personal preference.
Delicious recipe. Though way too much salt. Better with 1 tsp to 2 tsp of salt. Added a teaspoon of tarragon for a little extra flavor. It was quite nice.
Turned out great!!! Made for a friend who was sick. Served with a side of biscuits.
Yum! I’m glad it was enjoyed!
I made this for the first time on 11/30/23 and did not change the recipe and it was AMAZING!!! My husband asked that I make this at least once a week. The flavor in the soup is superb!
Hello there, thank you for your awesome feedback. We’re glad that you loved i!
I’ve made this twice since Thanksgiving with leftover turkey and my husband and I both love it. Go ahead! Make ya some!
Yay that’s great to hear!
