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.

Question! I know this says 10 servings per recipe but about how much is a serving? Curious before I make it. Thanks
Hi Amy, it’s about 1 – 1.5 cups! I hope you love this recipe!
WOW! This is so delicious. I made this tonight for our dinner and by hubby said this is definitely restaurant quality AND he’s not wrong! I followed the recipe exactly. We had it with some garlic bread. This will be staying on our favorite recipes list that is for sure. Natasha I’m curious about the kitchen tool you use a lot for scooping up your veges with and I really would like one too. Can you please tell me the name of it? I have looked around but have never seen one like that.
Hi Kay! Thank you so much for your fantastic review! you can find our favorite kitchen tools in our Amazon Affiliate Shop HERE. Are you possibly referring to this Scraper? I enjoy this one also!
I absolutely loved this recipe!!. I made it step by step. Perfect flavor. This is my new favorite. Can’t wait to make it for kids and grandchildren! Thank you!!! Julie
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Julie!
Love this recipe. I had a few days to myself (which never happens) and there was a snow storm and I made this and some biscuits and ate it for days! Was heavenly!
I meant 5 stars not three! This recipe deserves all 5 stars!
I made this soup a couple of days ago, and took half of it to a friend and her husband for dinner. RAVE reviews all around!! Her husband said it was the BEST soup he ever had!
My husband and I agree! We will be making this again for sure!
That’s so thoughtful of you! I’m happy this was a hit, Janet!
I just finished the recipe and I made it EXACTLY like it said and measured everything to the T. I measured exactly exactly like the recipe said, and I put 3tsp salt and husband just tried it and said it was so salty almost inedible…
:((((( I could cry. I tasted it and it’s super salty. I usually get unsalted chicken stock or broth but I used regular today…and I only had Himalayan pink salt. Could that be it?!?!? I want to cry!
Hi Dani, sorry to hear that didn’t turn out well. I always follow this recipe and that never happened to me, it could be because you used a different type of salt which is difficult to estimate and unsalted broth is also a better option so you can manually adjust the salt level of the recipe.
That is probably 100% because of the broth. Regular chicken broth has an ungodly amount of salt in it, be sure to always get reduced sodium and if you can’t then probably skip the extra salt in the recipe.
When any soup is too salty peel a potato and cut it in half add to soup & cook a little longer it will soak up the salt!! don’t forget to take the potato out when done!!
Wow! I made this fantastic soup tonight and it was a hit. Actually, my husband waited to have his second bowl before he announced to me that this is the best soup I have ever made! I ended up using eight cups of chicken stock instead of six but only because that was the amount in the containers I opened. Also, because of family preferences and missing ingredients, I only used half an onion and then garlic powder in place of garlic
cloves.
I also made the Fluffy Homemade Biscuits and they were a great compliment to this soup. Truly a delicious recipe!
Wow, that’s wonderful feedback, Cathy. That is so inspiring for me, I love it! Thank you for sharing that with us.
The soup was awesome! I also did the traditional pot pie which was also delish especially during our freezing Ohio winters. Perfect, cozy comfort food. Love your recipes.
I’m so happy you enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing that with us, Linda!
@Natasha, I want to throw this into a crockpot to cook/simmer all day…am I able to do this with the cream? Just not sure when I should add the cream/how long it can cook/simmer without ruining the overall dish.
Hi Heather, I haven’t tested it through in the crockpot/ slow cooker so I can’t offer specific advice on that.
The chicken pot pie soup was great. I swapped 2 tsps. of butter for 2 of bacon grease.
Isn’t it the best comfort dish! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
This soup is delicious! My husband and I both loved it. I cut the salt back to 2 tsp. and used leftover roasted potatoes so it was a little faster to make. Otherwise I followed the directions exactly and it came out perfect. I will definitely make it again! Thank you.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Shelley!
Chicken Pot Pie Soup Is The Greatest! Love It!
It’s gonna be a family favorite for years to come. Thank You!
That’s awesome, Melvin! I’m happy that you found a new favorite.
What could I do to replace the whipping cream? I have a lactose free girl in the house.
Hi Kara, I haven’t tried any dairy substitutions, so I’m not sure how milk would work since it doesn’t thicken.
You could try using coconut milk. I find it works best in soup recipes as a dairy free sub.
I’m just curious, did you update this recipe not too long ago? I made a recipe similar to this about a year ago and I believe it is yours, but some of the recommendations you had in it before are not there. It used to say something about using baby Bella mushrooms and college inn broth…. Am I going crazy!?
Hi Jennifer, I haven’t updated this recipe – maybe you are thinking of a different recipe?
This is the best chicken soup recipe I have ever tried. The mushrooms make it a game changer. Followed recipe exactly (until I added 1 T of fresh Sage and 1 T of fresh thyme when the mushrooms went in). Soooo, soooo good!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the wonderful review, Beth!
We loved your chicken pot pie recipe so much (filling and crust combo is excellent), we had to try this in the new year since I need to go gluten free. It was so good! I did add extra cream and used a potato starch instead of the flour for a gluten free option. I will experiment with coconut cream instead of the dairy next time. Great recipe, thank you!
I’m glad you loved the recipe, Keira. Thank you for the review!
This soup was incredible. Making it and taking it to out of town family this weekend!
Happy to know that you loved this soup, Lori. I hope your family will love it too!
Can I freeze this for later? Do cooked potatoes freeze well?
Hi Jenn, 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 couldn’t stop thinking about this recipe when I came across it a few weeks back and now I have some left over chicken I need to use up. (BTW I’ve been binge watching your videos.) I had to cut the recipe in 1/2 as I only had 2 cups of organic roast chicken, but added a few more mushrooms to make up the difference. I also used homemade chicken stock, frozen veggies (corn, peas, carrots and green beans,) along with chopped up baby potatoes. I didn’t have heavy cream so I used half and half cream (10%) and it tasted fine. Since there is only my husband and myself, 1/2 recipe is plenty. I served this with buttermilk biscuits. True comfort food on such a cold day here in Canada. Thank you Natasha for making my life easier. I enjoy your videos and your sense of humour.
I’m so happy you loved this recipe! Thank you so much for the fantastic review and your encouraging words. I am smiling big reading your comment
