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.

So delicious, my husband is not a fan of chicken pot pie, but I had a pretty good idea he would love this soup. It was amazing and he went back for seconds.
This soup truly tastes like a pot pie, without the crust! Delicious, easy and satisfying on a cold winter day! This makes one of my top 10 from Natasha’s kitchen 😋
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Laurie! I’m so happy you enjoyed it.
A delicious soup- makes for a hearty dinner and pairs great with fresh sour dough bread.
I love Natasha’s recipes because they are real food for real families- and her recipes never disappoint !
Thank you so much, Anca! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying the recipes.
Absolutely delicious!!
Can this soup be frozen?
Hi Irene! One of my readers wrote: “I make this soup all the time, it is one of my family’s favorites! I also freeze it, and it freezes and heats back up very well.”
Mostly followed this receipe and won a small Chili/Soup cook-off at church last night. I used a Mojo rotisserie chicken from Publix, unsalted chicken stock and sauteed my veggies in cast iron before putting in my soup pot. This was my first time making this soup but its now a family fav and in our rotation for those cold nights we are not feeling chili…
That’s awesome, Donnie! So happy you have a new family favorite!
Just to correct my comment sent last night regarding dropping the buns into the soup. It was more like chicken and dumplings.
A fabulous rich dinner!!
I made this tonight for friends and it was perfect. They wanted to bring something so I just suggested some bread. She brought little biscuits and we broke those up and dropped them on top of the soup and it was out of this world. Truly like a chicken pot pie.
Very yummy soup on these cold winter days in Wisconsin 😰 Does this soup freeze well?
Hi Peg! Yes, it freezes well according to some of my viewers who have frozen this.
If I want to omit the potatoes to reduce the number of carbs, should I reduce the amount of chicken stock? If so, how much should I use?
Love your recipes!!!
Thanks!
I Karen! I think you can reduce it by one cup. Just add more at the end if you feel like it needs more.
Absolutely delicious! Perfect soup for a cold winter night. The recipe makes enough for several meals. Everyone loves it.
Absolutely delicious! I will be making this again real soon!
So glad to know you loved it, June!
Can this be frozen? Looking for soups that I can freeze for elderly family members.
Hi Judy! While I haven’t tried it, one of my readers wrote: “I make this soup all the time, it is one of my family’s favorites! I also freeze it, and it freezes and heats back up very well.” I hope that helps.
This was delicious! I baked a couple pie crusts and crumbled them to sprinkle on top of each serving.
This is soooo good. I make it and freeze it. I had it for breakfast this morning. Love this recipe.
It turned out delicious!!!! Will make it again!
Thank you!
I love this recipe, it gets put on the rotation every time temps dip below 40 and all my kids requested this as their birthday dinner this year
Delicious recipe I come back to again and again and I Love love love how you add the measurements back into the steps – it helps so much so I don’t have to go back and forth!
Thank you!!!
Hi Kersti! I’m so glad you love it. The reason why I haven’t been including the measurements in the steps is because if you increase/decrease the number of servings at the top of the recipe card, it won’t convert the measurements in the instructions. Unfortunately there isn’t an option for that at the moment.
I made Natasha’s Shepards Pie tonight! Bursting with flavor, unbelievable! This recipe earned an all time favorite in my specialty file!!
Thanks Natasha! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes! 💫
I’m so happy you love it!
I just made this and it turned out so good! I work from home and I was really able to make this. My teen daughter loves it. I can’t wait for my 11 year old to try it. It’s really flavorful, creamy and has all the good flavors of pot pie but way easier. This will become a recipe on repeat. Thanks Natasha
I’m so happy to hear you loved it, Laura! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review with me.
Really good I think it’s just needs thyme and a dash cayenne pepper. Thanks
Thank you for sharing that with me, RP!
