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.

This looks great! I plan on making this today but just discovered my heavy cream is bad. Can I use whole milk instead or would it be best to omit completely? I have chicken breasts I plan on cooking in the air fryer to add to the soup! Thank you.
Hi Kayla, I haven’t tried any dairy substitutions, so I’m not sure how milk would work since it doesn’t thicken.
can you share a recipe called Beignet recipe please
I don’t have a recipe for that but thanks for your suggestion.
Made it following the recipe (sort of). It turned out great. I love this site.
Thank you for the wonderful review! I’m so glad you’re enjoying our site!
Absolutely DELICIOUS! We added some dumplings to it and it was like a chicken dumpling soup mixed with chicken pot pie. (Great combination). Thank you Natasha for this fabulous recipe.
Hello Todd, you are very welcome! Sounds good, I’m glad you enjoyed this soup!
Made it and loved it. I omitted the mushrooms, since I’m unable to eat them. I did add a corn starch slurry at the end to thicken it more. But will definitely make it again!!
Super delicious! We bought a rotisserie chicken from Costco to use. It fed our family of 5 with plenty leftover.
Hi Heather, that makes my day. Thanks for sharing that with me.
The recipe was excellent. Added some sage that enhanced the flavors.
Love love love this recipe. I made it with turkey breast and canned corn and peas and it was simply delicious. It was a hit with the family too!! Tasted way better than store bought. Natasha thank you this for this amazing recipe. Will definitely make it again.
Hi Laura, I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for the wonderful review.
Love your recipes, made the chicken pot pie soup today
Hi Sandy, I am so happy to hear you loved the soup.
Could you substitute sour cream instead of whipping cream?
Hi Fran, I haven’t tried that but it might add a tanginess that may not meld with the flavors in the soup.
I love your cooking shows, so much fun yet very informative and uncomplicated for my 74 year old brain. You are such a blessing and I use and save your recipes. Keep teaching and inspiring us. God Bless, Linda Hill
You’re so nice! Thank you!

I tried this recipe and it was so good ! Loved this recipe 👌
hat’s wonderful! I hope you tried those biscuits also.
I also tried your baked donuts recipe and it is was sooooo good ! Love your recipes
made the soup but left out the whipping cream and flour and used cream of chicken it was still fantastic.
That’s great to know! Did you just replace that with 1 can of cream of chicken soup?
Absolutely delicious soup thank you just flipped the recipe to my girlfriend in the Carolinas thank you
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Nancy!
I think this sounds yummy and I’m planning on making it but, I need to know if it freezes well
I haven’t tried freezing it and I”m not sure how it would work with the cream in it. Also, potatoes don’t usually freeze well. I would recommend enjoying this within 3-4 days of making it.
Made it today! Delicious 😋
Whole family loved it!
Thanks!
My next recipe to try – but I was wondering if you might have a good suggestion for an alternative to peas in this recipe (I love them but my husband hates them!)
You are my “go-to” chef and are responsible for some great dinners at our house – Thanks Natasha!
Hi Caroline, I haven’t tested this, but one of our readers mentioned corn works in place of peas. I hope that helps.
Thanks for the tip….Since there’s already corn in the recipe though, I thought of maybe trying carrots and broccoli…? I’m sure the carrot will work, not as sure of the broccoli….but I’ll find out!!
I think some cut green beans or cut hari coverts would work as a great replacement for the green peas
Do you know sam from sugar spun run
