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.

Family favourite!
I just made this today using rotisserie chicken breast. The flavors are outstanding!!! Bringing it to my son and daughter-in-law tonight.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review!
Absolutely delicious! And very nutritious. I reheated later in the day and it went from thick and creamy to very thin. Any suggestions.
Hi Nancy, adding extra liquids can cause it to get thinner. Normally this reheats creamy. You might consider if there were any modifications in the measurements.
Another one to add to the rotation! Thanks for a wonderful recipie!
You’re welcome, Christine! It sounds like you found a new favorite.
absolutely delicious!!!!!!
Mrs. Kravchuk, I have a question. Can I use frozen chicken breasts instead of the rotisserie chicken? If so, how many chicken breasts?
I really want to makes this looks bomb!
Hi Mesha, that should work to cook the chicken with the potatoes then remove and shred and put it back into the soup.
My wife and I have been followers of you for about a year , I have tried some of your recipes and all have been amazing!!!!
This Chicken Pot Pie is 10 Stars out of 5 !!!!! Absolute love it , I’ve also put it in some pie shells too !!!! Thank you both for sharing your excellent recipes
It is our new favorite! A must-have during these cooler months.
Cooked this last night and it is a major hit in our house. My mother-in-law has Alzheimer’s and we have a tough time finding foods she won’t complain about. Last night she came close to licking her bowl clean. Absolutely delicious!
Aww, that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe.
My husband and I bonded over creating your delicious soup! He sauté while I chopped and added the next ingredients! It worked out beautifully. We loved the soup and will definitely make it again! Thanks Natashas for another 5* recipe!
Hi Linda, sounds wonderful! I’m glad you and your husband had a great bonding experience making this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Natasha,
Thank you for another yummy recipe. I made it today and everyone liked it. Do you think I can freeze the leftovers?
You’re most welcome, Patty. I’m glad everyone liked this recipe. 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.
Thank you!
After making the same things over and over again for dinner, I decided to make something different! So I made this for dinner tonight. And this was AMAZING!!! my family enjoyed it so much.
That is the best when kids and entire family loves what we moms make. That’s so great!
Tried it it is so yummy and delicious
Thank you for your great review, Salma!
After making the chicken pot pie 3 times already since Christmas I had to try this! It’s delicious and so easy to put together.
Thanks for your great feedback, Ellie. I’m glad you tried this recipe!
Excellent. I made it as is, but I had to use lactose free whole milk instead of cream. I added a cornstarch slurry at the end to make it a little thicker. My family loved it.
Thank you for your great review, Angela. I’m glad your family enjoyed it!
I made this with left over turkey from Thanksgiving. Added about 3/4 tsp of poultry seasoning and 1/4 tsp of thyme. Very good!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Karen! Thank you!
