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.

Simply amazing. The minute it rains in California (which is rare!), I grab a blanket and make this soup — it’s pure comfort in a bowl. It’s raining now and the soup is on.
Natasha, this was so good! 🤤 I’ve been making a variety of soups this fall, and this one is my fav so far! It’s so comforting & yummy. You are so good at what you do 🫶🏻
So happy to hear that, Kacie! Thanks for sharing.
Made exactly as listed and it’s amazing! After completed, I just added a quick little splash of poultry seasoning and then let it simmer just a little bit longer. This is the best soup! This batch was a test run to see how I liked it.And my husband loves pot pies.He thinks it’s great! Cooking it for a group of bunco babes next week! Thank you for the wonderful recipe and the clear instructions!
I just made it and it is delish!!
Thank you so much Natasha
So happy you loved it!
My all-time favorite soup! It is perfection. Though I usually use raw chicken and cook it along with the veggies.
I’m craving this today! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful review with me, Laurie!
I’ve made this soup on repeat since finding this recipe. Absolutely amazing, it’s a warm hug in a bowl!
Would it be okay to substitute a bag of noodles for the potatoes?
I haven’t tested that but if you want to try, you can adjust the timing and texture a bit.
I know I can half your recipes, but I wish you would share recipes made for four people. D
Hi Dee! You can do more than half, you can actually use the recipe slider at the top of the recipe card to select the number of servings you want to make.
I can’t find the recipe slider you are talking about. I would love this. I make a lot of your recipes.
Hi Dee, scroll down to the printable recipe card (or you can click “Jump to recipe” at the top of the post). Where you see the serving count, the number is highlighted in red, hover over that to adjust how many servings you would like to make to adjust the ingredient list. I hope this helps.
I found the recipe slider. So happy. I am off to make some soup. 🥳
That’s so great, Dee! I hope you love it!
OMG! I’ve never noticed that before. How incredibly useful, thank you ❤️
Made for company, it was a big hit! Very easy to make and delicious! Thanks for sharing
I’m so glad it was a hit, Lynn! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Needless to say, my husband and myself finished the pot, nothing left to freeze! I will make more and freeze some….DELICIOUS!
I’m so happy to hear that, Jeanne.
This soup is so easy to make and delicious! My new go to soup!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Nana!
Made it and it was delicious!! I will definitely make it again. Can you freeze it??
I’m glad you loved it! Some of my viewers have reported good results freezing this.
I keep coming back to this recipe! So easy and so delicious. I do only a few modifications based on allergies and preference : use olive oil instead of butter, whole wheat flour, cut the mushrooms (sometimes), I season with my heart different seasonings I think would taste good and I use the cream part of a can of coconut milk. Makes it dairy free and still so delicious!
This was such a great recipe! Instead of the heavy whipping cream and mushrooms, I used cream of mushroom soup with a can full of milk! Thickened up great! 😃
Delicious and creamy! An instant favorite at our house. We will make this on repeat for sure.
I’m so glad to hear that your family enjoyed it, Monique!
Amazing! I added 1/2 the salt (too salty otherwise), doubled the pepper, added extra garlic, used mini Yukon gold potatoes with the skins on (because I’m lazy) – this is a winner of a recipe. Super easy and delicious!
No such thing as too much butter!!! I can’t wait to try this recipe!
I hope you love it, Chrissy!
Can you use half & half instead of whipping cream?
Hi Anna! If you’re using a lighter cream, the filling won’t get as thick. You may need to add a little more flour or cornstarch if it’s too thin.
So bummed. Was looking so forward to this recipe. Too much butter, can really taste and see it and did not thicken like I hoped. Flavor was okay, looked delicious but won’t make again.
Hi Bridge, this is normally very creamy and flavorful. Did you change anything in the recipe ingredients or steps?
Could I use gluten free flour instead of cornstarch to make GF?
Hi Lexie! Cornstarch is naturally GF. But yes, that should work. You’ll need to use more to get the thickening effect. A general rule is, 2 tablespoons GF flour for every 1 tablespoon cornstarch but in this recipe you should be able to swap out the flour equally for GF flour.
I’ve used King Arthur Gluten free measure for measure flour and it worked great! I even added plant based cream since my daughter and are lactose sensitive.
That’s so great, Cynthia! Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
