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 ChickenWe 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 chickenHow to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup Once you have all of your ingredients chopped and prepped, cooking this soup is easier than you think.

Add mushrooms and garlic and saute 5 minutes.
Add flour and saute 1 minute

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:
Biscuits
Dinner Rolls
No-Knead Artisan Bread
Crusty French BreadCommon 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.
