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.

If I were to leave out the mushrooms would I need to change any of the other measurements?
Hi Jessica, you’re welcome to omit them. Here’s what one of our readers wrote: “I omitted the mushrooms, since I’m unable to eat them. I did add a corn starch slurry at the end to thicken it more. But will definitely make it again!!” I hope this helps & you love this recipe!
I just made this soup today for the first time. It was delicious!
You are my go to for any new recipe that I want to try. Thank you again Natasha.
Aww, that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Carol! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
My family and I loved this! It seems every time I don’t know what to make for dinner, if I come to your page I find something and everyone loves it! So thank you so much for all the delicious recipes you share and the great videos.
Aww, that’s the best! Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Amanda! I’m happy my blog is your go too!
Thank you Natasha for another great recipe, I just made this soup using left over turkey my family loved it!!
I’m so glad to hear that!
Instead of using cream can I use 2% milk and how much. Excited to make this
The 2 % would likely be too watery, I would not use the 2%. Hope you enjoy it!
Do you know what the serving size is?
Hi Kelly, the number of servings is listed at the top of the print-friendly recipe card.
Serving size at our house is one heaping big bowl of this yummy best ever soup.
Made this soup today, it is delicious! Can I freeze it Natasha?
Hi Lori, 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.
I made this soup last night my husband loved it will make it again it was very delicious.
Hi Sharon, I’m so happy you and your husband loved the pot pie!
I made the chicken pot pie soup Sunday and it was unbelievably delicious!! Served it at our weekly Sunday evening dinner and everyone loved it – I’ll definitely be making this again! Thanks Natasha – and you are such a delightful person!!
I’m so happy to hear that the recipe was a huge hit! Thank you, Gail for your awesome feedback.
Great soup/meal
I keep a few containers in the freezer for the “what’s for dinner night”
Great idea!! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Good, but vastly improved with herbs added near the end of cooking. I added some dried thyme and rosemary, but fresh would be even better.
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Chris!
I made this soup and it is now my all time favorite. So yummy. In fact I am making it again this weekend to take to a potluck at church. Thanks Nataliya!
You are so welcome, Sue! Glad you found a new soup that you love.
This has become our favorite soup! It’s perfect! I need to take some frozen meals to a couple dealing with cancer. Have you ever tried to freeze it? I was hoping it might work, but with the potatoes and cream I was afraid to try it.
Hi Donna, that’s so thoughtful of you! 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.
Hi Natasha. Can I use chicken from a can like the Kirkland brand one from Costco?
Hi Vitaliya, I havne’t tested this with canned chicken, but that may work! If you experiment, I would love to know how you like that!
If you are going to Costco, just get the rotisserie chicken instead of that canned stuff
Great recipe everyone was so deliciously satisfied. Thank you
You’re welcome! Thank you for your good comments and feedback.
We’ve made this several times now and each time it does not disappoint! It’s a great way to finish some leftover rotisserie chicken. We also add some pasta shells to it. 🙂
Hi Michelle, adding pasta shells is a great idea! Thanks for your good comments and feedback, we appreciate it.
My husband stumbled across this recipe and sent is to me, as he knows how much I like the KFC chicken pot pie. I made it last weekend and again yesterday. It is the yummiest!! The chopping ahead of time is key to saving time when you get ready to make it. We highly recommend giving it a try.
Hello Gloria, that is awesome! Thanks for your great comments and feedback, I’m glad you loved this recipe!
@NatashasKitchen Your chicken pot pie soup recipe calls for 1 pound of Yukon gold potatoes. I don’t have Yukon gold potatoes, can I make the same recipe with white potatoes?
Hi Anson, it really is best with Yukon gold; I haven’t tried it with another potato, but you may need to increase cook time and prep depending on the kind you use. I hope you love this recipe.
I used milk instead of cream and it worked well. Also added a pinch of thyme>
Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
Hi Natasha,
So it’s just whipping cream and not heavy whipping cream? Or can I use either one of them?
Hi Lisa, heavy or regular whipping cream or even a light cream would work if you want a leaner soup.
Oh, I found the answer in your recipe link stating both can be used 😁
Sorry, I should have read it thoroughly before asking.
I’m glad you found that, Lisa! Enjoy this recipe!
Thank you for this video! Can’t wait to try this! I will eat it as is, but Mom has to eat gluten free. Is there anything you can substitute for the flour that will still keep this soup tasting thick, creamy, and delicious?
You’re welcome, Jim. I honestly haven’t tried any other substitute to make it gluten-free. If you do an experiment, please share with us how it goes.
