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.

Delicious.
For added thickness, when cubing the potatoes, I first “square” the 4 long sides by thinly slicing off the rounded edges. Then mince very fine the thin potato edges and add to the soup. They will fully break down and act as an additional thickener and add to the flavor.
This is a keeper. I didn’t use the potato as I follow mostly low carb. It was delicious and the seasoning was perfect. A really nice change from from clear both based chicken noodle.
My favorite soup of all time!! I use homemade chicken stock and follow the recipe almost exactly (sometimes I add a little more stock, but otherwise I keep it all the same) and get perfect results every time. Cannot recommend this enough!!
So glad you’re loving it! Thank you for sharing.
Doubled recipe making one chicken and one turkey. Used leftover turkey and chicken from Thanksgiving. This is so good.
Oh my goodness! This is the ultimate in comfort food! Different than soups I’m accustomed to eating. Creamy and delicious. Super easy to make. Would be extra delicious with some good sourdough. It’s going to be in our dinner rotation for sure!
Last year I started making soups that I had never made before. I love soup. I can’t wait to try this one, it looks sooo yummy! Thank you!
I like adding a pinch of Cayenne Pepper to the soup and the Pot Pie recipe Adds just a bit of heat.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Best soup ever ! My husband told me it was the best soup that I have ever made. It’s beyond delicious:) Thank you Natasha for shaking up Chicken Soup!
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Karen!
I love a good soup recipe, this one is a keeper! I started with 5 cups of really good turkey stock so I waited to add any salt until it was closer to done- but it did need end up needing about 2 tsp. I was also too lazy to go get more potatoes so I added two small diced zucchini and one minced poblano pepper. Then, because I can’t leave anything alone, I added about 1.5 cups of egg noodles. What a lovely meal, thank you for this inspiring recipe!
Just made it 1st time for dinner. Everyone loved it. Best ever! Amazing rich flavor. Followed the recipe. Love your recipes!
We love this soup. So easy to make and my husband absolutely loves it. Thank you for this!! Making it for the fourth time in a month 🫣
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Birdie!
It’s so good. Comfort food for a cold night in December.
This was very flavorful. My family loved it! I will definitely be making it again.
So happy they were a hit, Christine!
I have always struggled with making soup. This recipe was delicious thank you. Your recipes have never disappointed me.
I have made this soup many times and it is a favorite of mine. After making turkey stock today from my Thanksgiving turkey, my husband prompted me to make turkey pot pie soup. It was sooo…good. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is the best.
Hello! Is there a good non dairy substitute for the whipping cream? Maybe coconut cream?
Hi Helen! I haven’t tested that but one of my viewers shared good results using full fat coconut cream.
CountryCrock has a dairy free plant cream and it works perfectly in this soup! I
Oh my gosh! Just made this today!! It is absolutely delicious! I love taking soup to work for lunch this time of year. My daughter loves it , too! Definitely will be making this again!! Thanks for another great recipe.
You’re very welcome, Ann!
The BEST soup recipe ever! I made this recipe twice in one week. My family can’t stop talking about how great this soup is.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Michelle!
Hi Natasha, do you have any suggestions for a substitute for the mushrooms?
Hi Dana! You can leave them out completely, several of my viewers have or they’ve used other veggies such as broccoli. You can also chop them up very small so they are less noticeable or add more of the other veggies to compensate for some of the volume.
Great recipe and delicious comfort food! My family loved it. I’ll be doing it again soon
