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. I tried making this today and followed the directions exactly but mine turned out thin and I am not sure why. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you
Hi Jenell, did you change anything in the proportions or use a different kind of veggie? Also, the flour is the thickener here so make sure not to skip or substitute it.
Just a short cut. I used bag of mixed vegies (corn, green beans, peas & carrots) and I cubed up potatoes and microwaved them before adding to soup. Made it even faster! It was delicious!
Thank you so much for sharing that with me, Judy! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Hi! Just tried this tonight with a few edits and it’s still delish!
I had a bag of frozen vegetable soup base so I used that in addition to a fresh stalk of celery, a small fresh onion and a large russet potato. Hubby doesn’t like mushrooms so I omitted them regretfully. My son and I love them……
I used two boiled chicken breasts and fat free half and half because that was what I had in the fridge.
It was a hit with the family! This will be my go to recipe!
Thanks so much!
Yay that’s fantastic! Thanks for sharing, great to hear that the recipe was a huge hit.
I was wondering how would me omitting potatoes effect the recipe?
Made this for the first time and it did not disappoint!! Restaurant quality! Will definitely be making this part of the dinner recipe rotation 🙂
Sounds great! Thank you for the awesome review, Kristin.
This soup was good. Very hearty so great to serve as a meal. I used fat free half and half to cut the fat so not as creamy but with all the veggies and chicken, worked great! I’ll definitely make again being up in Minnesota for some great warming and comfort food! Didn’t give 5 stars because it took quite a bit longer than expected.
Hello Joline, no worries. I’m glad you enjoyed it and I’m sure it was worth making this recipe. Thank you for the review!
How large is a serving size? Is it 1 cup or 1.5 cups? Of course I am starting the new year on a diet.
Hi Michelle, you’re on the right track; it’s about 1 – 1.5 cups! I hope you love this recipe!
We love this recipe. Also love your pie crust. I’m thinking of
baking dough into shapes
(leaves etc) to lay on top of soup before serving.
That sounds lovely, Lee! If you experiment, let me know how you liked the recipe.
Love this recipe! I need to make this soup for 12 AND make dessert and apps as well so making this soup ahead of time and freezing would be optimum. I think I can do that if I make soup with all ingredients EXCEPT heavy cream. Cool— freeze. Then thaw when needed, heat on simmer til heated through— THEN add the heavy cream. THOUGHTS??????
Hi Lynne, 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 freeze mashed potatoes all the time, which has milk in it, and they come out wonderful when I reheat them. I am hoping to try this recipe tomorrow, and I’ll plan to put some to the side to freeze it and see how it does. Thanks for the recipe. I so enjoy them.
Ok, WOW, Natasha! Made this last night for dinner, and everyone but licked their bowls clean!
Started late on dinner and as you’ve mentioned in the recipe, took the soup around 30 mins to be ready. So it’s a pretty easy weeknight recipe too! The flavors were on-point, the fresh parsley just brought the soup alive! Wouldn’t change a thing for next time! Thank you for your wonderful recipes! 💗
Thanks for the awesome review and feedback. I’m glad to know that the pot pie soup was a huge hit!
I made this for supper tonight, and it was delicious!! Perfect for a cold, rainy evening. Love your recipes, look forward to making more!
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my recipes, Faith! Thank you for sharing that great review with me!
This is so delicious. I’m so excited to serve it for company. I bought all my veggies already chopped from Trader Joe’s and Frozen garlic. Prep was easy. I also baked frozen oils yet crusts in strips to garnish. A definite keeper.
The only thing I wish I could omit are the mushrooms.
Hi Lorene, I hope it becomes a hit! I think you can omit the mushrooms and it will still be good.
I thought the mushrooms would not work for my family but I was wrong. This was a hit. Yum!!!
I can’t wait to try more of your recipes
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Lorene!
Excellent recipe! Flavorful! I used chicken bone broth instead of chicken broth for the health benefits.
That’s a good idea, thank you for sharing that with us.
Very, very good. This will be a regular in my soup rotation. Easy, perfect flavor profile, satisfying soup that everyone will love. Give it a try. Yummy!
I’m so glad this was a hit! It sounds like you have a new favorite, Kathy!
I made this yesterday (Sunday) and served it tonight for dinner.
It is VERY good !!
I’ll serve the rest another night.
Hardy and delicious !!
Thanks for the review, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I made this soup tonight and it is delicious! Very flavorful and comforting! I make your Italian Wedding Soup very often but now I’ll add this soup to my rotation.
Sounds like a great plan, Michele!
Just made this soup but realized I was out of heavy cream. I decided by the end that I didn’t need it because it was still so thick and delicious. I also added a little bit of broccoli and dried herbs. Great recipe!!!!
I’m so glad it worked out well! Thank you so much for sharing that with me.
Made this soup last night for me and my husband (and the biscuits!), it was fabulous. We each had two bowls, could not stop eating it. Definitely a comfort food!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review, Liz!
This is the very first thing I have made that I did not like. I have made tons and tons of your recipes and was super surprised on how bland this was. It definitely needs seasoning other then salt and pepper. But the biscuits like everything else I have made were fantastic. I love your videos also. Your whole family is adorable….Please make a cookbook, I have so many printed papers to have to go through to make something again…..
I’m not sure what the problem was because that never happened to us before. Was it perhaps because there was something that wasn’t measured correctly with the ingredients? I am currently working on a cookbook, stay tuned!
So excited for your cookbook. I gave my neighbor some of the soup and she loved it so it must have just been me. Sorry for the poor review and like I said I have a drawer full of your recipes, love them all and and blessed by your faith and your fabulous food and super fun videos. It makes cooking such a delightful thing even for us old folks….
That just makes my day. Thank you so much for your thoughtful and encouraging comment. That really blessed me.
Made this today and we are enjoying it as I write this! Thanks for a delicious soup!
Happy to know that you enjoyed this soup, Mary!
Hi there. Wondering what I can replace peas and corn with. My son and husband aren’t fans…
Hey there Natalya, you’re welcome to omit them. I haven’t tested this, but one of our readers mentioned corn works in place of peas. I hope that helps.
Maybe cut green beans would work for your family. I substituted them and we all enjoyed it.
