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.

I forgot to add the stars to my previous reply. I will definitely making this again!
Thank you for the perfect rating, Elaine!
I just made this. What an awesome soup! Very flavorful! Definitely a keeper.
Good to know that you enjoyed this soup, Elaine!
I was in the hospital once and they served us a chicken pot pie, but they put the insides of the chicken pot pie on a plate/bowl and then they took a lengthwise slice of puff pastry and bake that and laid it on top of the filling. Do you think that would work on your chicken pot pie soup or your chicken pot pie filling for your recipe for chicken pot pie.
Hi Janet, yes, can try that with the chicken pot pie recipe. I think it would work just fine.
This soup was great! I wanted a little more depth in the flavor so I added a can of cream and mushroom soup and a packet of onion soup dry mix. I also added paprika, sage, and chives.
Hi Alexis! I’m glad you loved it. Thank you.
Natasha’s kitchen never disappoints. This was so good. My husband said it was in his top favorite soups now! I eat a gluten free diet so I substituted the flour for the great value (Walmart) brand gluten free flour. I added a little sour cream for extra creaminess. I also added some celery seed. Served it with homemade buttermilk biscuits. We have ourselves a new favorite fall soup! Thank you so much for the recipe!!
Thank you for the great feedback, Heather. I’m happy to hear it was enjoyed.
I pushed 5 stars I don’t know why it said 4.. I’m so sorry
Thank you for this great recipe. I have started to follow you since I have retired and my wife now make me do the majority of the cooking. Your blog has been a godsend, your recipes have me cooking up a storm.
Not that my wife doesn’t cook, she still cooks, then I don’t know any women from the Ukraine that doesn’t cook.
That made me smile, thank you for your kind words and good feedback. It helps inspire me to do better everyday!
I just tried the recipe for my husband and 86 year old mother. It was delicious and easy to make. Thanks!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad it was enjoyed.
This soup is so yummy! I did not make any adjustments. I didn’t have cooked chicken so I seared some chicken breast and shredded it in a food processor. I deglazed the chicken pan and added that to the soup. I didn’t have chicken stock, so I went with store bought, Imagine Organic Free Range Chicken Broth. It was great.
My husband and two year old son made corn bread to go with the soup. It was like Thanksgiving. We didn’t even remember to eat our brownie parfait dessert…
The cornbread sounds wonderful! I’m so glad it was enjoyed. Thank you for sharing with us.
Delicious. My 84 year old dad wants to make in his crock pot. Any suggestions on how to convert? Thanks!
Hi Stephanie, I haven’t tested it through in the crockpot/ slow cooker, so I can’t offer specific advice on that.
My new favorite soup. Easy to make, absolutely delicious and no crust to deal with. Thanks so much!
That’s great, Sue! I’m glad you found a new favorite. 🙂
Delectable. Satisfying. Perfection. Everyone loved it. If you haven’t made this- run, don’t walk. Even the finickiest of eaters will love it.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback and review, Renee! 🙂
If this is for the pot pie chicken soup, this would be a favorite comfort food for me. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Denise! You’re welcome. 🙂 I hope you get a chance to try this soup.
Made your soup tonight and it is a winner. My husband is always a bit hesitant about new recipes, and he said this one is a keeper! I will make the soup this winter and have company over – with some bread it is a complete meal!
So glad it was a hit, Renny! Thank you for sharing.
It came out perfect first time I’ve ever made it let me and my husband both. Love it.
That’s just awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful review, Angie!
Do you have any updates on freezing this meal? Looking to make it for an upcoming river trip! thanks
Hi Ashley! To freeze a pot pie, cover with foil and freeze for up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Bake covered with foil for an extra 25-30 minutes at 425˚F, then remove foil and bake as directed in the recipe. I hope this helps! I haven’t tried freezing a cooked pie, but it should be good for a few days in the fridge.
This is an amazing recipe. I doubled the garlic and added two Serrano peppers since my family loves spice. Delicious!
Thanks for sharing, Mel. Happy to know that your family enjoyed this soup!
Loved it! I like my soup with more than just salt and pepper So I added paprika, thyme, extra garlic, vegetta spices and Russian spices for soup !! Heaven!! Extra extra parsley too!!
Hi Natallia! I’m so happy this was a hit! Thank you so much for sharing that with me!
Loved this recipe asked surprisingly fast. I used coconut cream because I can’t eat dairy. The only other changes I made was eliminating the flour since I don’t like thick soups and I used thyme instead of parsley since I have fresh thyme growing in my garden. Thank you for this wonderful recipe.
Thank you for sharing the tweaks that you made, I’m glad it turned out great and you loved it!
My family loved this soup. We had a cool, windy day here in NC, so this was a perfect dinner. I cooked some Mary B’s biscuits while the soup finished simmering and put one on the top of each bowl. My husband and kids (7, 4, 1) all devoured it and asked for it to be on a regular rotation during “soup season”. The only thing I did differently was add some extra carrots because my crowd loves them.
Thanks!!
Sounds great! Thank you for sharing that with us, I’m so glad that you and your family enjoyed this soup!
I made this yesterday on a cold day. It was so hardy and satisfying. Served a salad with it and it was a perfect meal. Will add it to my favorite recipes. Will also pass it on to my friends to try. Thanks for a delicious alternative to traditional chicken noodle soup
You’re welcome, Marcy. I’m happy to see that you enjoyed this soup!
Wonderful recipe! Thank you for sharing. Just what we needed on a chilly night.
Thank you for your great feedback, Josie!
