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.

Hi Natasha,
I made the Chicken Pot Pie Soup for dinner tonight and it worked at treat and was very tasty.
Thank you.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Henry!
Every time I make this, it’s amazing! Has anyone made this in an instant pot? I was trying to figure out how long I would need to cook everything before adding the chicken and frozen veggies. I would saute the first veggies, add the broth and potatoes and seasoning, then I think it would need only about 5 minutes or so on high. Thoughts from anyone?
Natasha, every recipe I’ve tried is amazing. I love your videos! They make the steps so easy. Thank you again!
Hi Molly, I read through the comments, and I’m not seeing anyone has tried it in an instant pot. If you happen to experiment, we would love to know how you like it.
Hi! Did you end up making it with an instant pot?
Made this for dinner and it was a hit. Thought I would have leftovers for lunch, I was wrong.
I’m so happy you enjoeyd this recipe! We always go for seconds with chicken pot pie!
Wow! This is the best soup ever!
Awesome, thank you!
Used 1/2 &1/2 b/c it’s what I had. Delicious & hearty! Next time, I’ll quarter the potato slices. Yumm!
Thank you for sharing that with us, Sharon! I’m so happy you’re enjoying this recipe.
Natasha, I made the Chicken Pot Pie soup twice now, and last night I made the Broccoli Cheese soup……every recipe I try of yours has been delicious. Thank you!
Karen Fink
Wow, so great to hear that! Thank you for your good feedback, Karen.
Absolutely delicious! I originally wanted to make the chicken pot pie, but Aldi ran out of pie crust. (Too lazy to make my own). I decided to make the soup instead and I do not regret it at all! It is absolutely delicious, creamy and I love how it has sooooo many vegies in it! I do not like mushrooms too much, but I loved the taste that it gave to the soup. I might be wrong, but I feel like it wouldn’t taste the same without the mushrooms. Thank you, Natasha for sharing your delicious recipes with us!! yum yum yum!
It sounds like you found the perfect way to improvise! I’m so glad you enjoyed this recipe, Cristina!
This soup is a keeper! I made it last night and my husband devoured it. I used coconut milk in place of the cream and he was none the wiser. You would never guess it was dairy-free with all the delicious flavors going on. I will definitely make this again!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
This looks delicious, Natasha! I make a similar chicken pot pie soup, but mine calls for putting a biscuit (we use Pillsbury Grands biscuits) in your bowl before ladling the soup in. It’s AMAZING and really adds that “crust” that’s missing with the soup. My whole family loves it! I highly recommend it and can’t wait to try it out with your recipe!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Dana! That sounds delicious!
When would we add in the corn starch? It says in the last 5 min?
Hi, yes that is correct. Please see the instructions in the section: “Can I make this gluten free?”
Hi Natasha, love your channel May I ask you I would like to make a tripe batch can I freeze this soup? Thank you!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying our channel, Susan! 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.
It cans beautifully if you’re into that, but if you need to freeze it, use red potatoes. I’ve done that with good success with other soups and stews for years.
Thank you for sharing that with us!
I froze a large bowl and it worked out fine, we ate it a week later.
I made this soup last week. OMG! It is so delicious. A great recipe on a cold winter day. Made the biscuits to go along with it. It was a hit with kids and adults. Had lots of leftovers to put in the kids thermos the next few days.
Isn’t it so cozy! Perfect for a warm winter evening. I’m happy you all enjoyed this recipe, Roxanne!
made this soup and my family and friends loved it 🙂
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Maryanne!
All I can say is WOW! This was so delicious. My sister and husband absolutely loved it! It’s a keeper for sure (~_~) Trust me, I have made many of your recipes and have never been disappointed. Thank you for all of your wonderful recipes!
That’s so great! It sounds like you have a new favorite!
Hi,
Just wondering do the potatoes need to be boiled first? Or do they boil in the broth etc.
Also I do not have whipping cream or half n half so can I use whole milk instead?
Thinking of making this tonight but I have a huge family of 8 members so should I double the recipe?
Hi Sam, the potatoes cook in the broth. You can use milk instead, it just won’t be quite as creamy. One recipe will make enough for 8-10 people.
Excellent soup! Clearly nobody is paying any attention to amount of salt called for, but still… 🙂
thanks again for another enjoyable recipe!
Thank you for sharing that feedback with us, Bill! I’m happy you enjoyed this recipe.
3-4 teaspoons of salt?
Maybe 3/4?
Hi Bill, 3 to 4 tsp is correct. Definitely add it to taste, but you want the pot pie soup to be well-seasoned.
I made this soup for the first time tonight. It was fantastic. My wife and I loved it. I pulled the meat off of a rotisserie chicken; made chicken broth by boiling down the carcass for a few hours, with some onion, celery and seasoning. I used canned rather than frozen peas and added them during the last minute of cooking. This soup is definitely going into the rotation of my meals. Thank you for sharing your recipes
Hello Mark, great to hear from you and thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I’m glad you both loved this recipe!
Great chicken pot pie soup recipe! Easy and delicious.
Thank you!
Irina
You’re welcome and thank you for your great feedback!
Hi Natasha…Made your chicken pot pie soup tonight – delicious and perfect for a chilly winter evening!! Can I freeze the leftovers? Love your recipes and continued cooking success!!
So great to hear that, Maureen. Thanks for sharing! 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 so much for sharing your wonderful recipes. Every inspiring to get creative in the kitchen. This was delicious. I even added broccoli to the soup.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
I made this soup a couple of weeks ago with the fluffy biscuits and my 14 year old son was over the moon. He had two bowls and wanted me to reheat the soup the next morning for breakfast!! LOL This soup is DEFINITELY a keeper!
Thank you for all your fantastic recipes and great videos!
Much appreciated!
That is the best when kids love what we parents make. That’s so great!
