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:

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.

  1. Saute vegetables – melt butter and sautee onion, celery, and carrots and saute for 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Add mushrooms and garlic and saute 5 minutes.
  3. Add flour and saute 1 minute
  4. Add broth and potatoes – season with salt and pepper and simmer until potatoes are tender.
  5. Add Chicken, peas, corn, cream, and parsley – simmer 5 minutes.
  6. 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:

Chicken Soup Served with biscuits

Common Questions

Can I substitute the chicken?

You can substitute chicken with shredded leftover turkey meat for a turkey pot pie, or use diced cooked ham.

Can I make this gluten free?

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.

How do I thicken chicken pot pie?

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 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.

    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.

    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!!

    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…

      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.

    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.

    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!!
