Why You’ll Love Pot Pie Soup

• Comforting. All the familiar, homey flavors of pot pie in a warming soup.
• Simple. Uses common pantry ingredients and comes together in under an hour.
• Veggie-packed. Peas, corn, carrots, celery and potatoes add color, texture, and nutrition.
• Flexible. Easy to modify based on what’s in your fridge, freezer, or pantry.

Chicken Pot Pie Soup Ingredients

• Butter
• Onion – yellow or white, chopped
• Carrots – peeled and chopped
• Celery – chopped
• Potatoes – Yukon Golds, peeled and cubed
• Garlic – minced
• All-purpose flour
• Chicken broth
• Heavy cream
• Cooked chicken – diced or shredded
• Frozen peas (or canned)
• Frozen corn (or canned)
• Fresh thyme
• Salt and freshly cracked black pepper

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup

1. Sauté the vegetables. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and cubed potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5–7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
2. Make the roux. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid browning.
3. Add broth and simmer. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until the mixture starts to thicken slightly.
4. Stir in cream. Add the heavy cream and stir to combine. Let the soup simmer gently for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
5. Finish with chicken and veggies. Stir in the cooked chicken, frozen peas, frozen corn, and fresh thyme. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cook until everything is heated through, about 8–10 minutes.
6. Serve. Ladle into bowls and garnish with extra thyme and cracked pepper. Serve with biscuits or crusty bread.

Tips for Success

• Use leftover chicken. Shredded rotisserie, roasted, grilled, or pan-fried chicken all work well.
• Boost the flavor with homemade broth. If you have homemade chicken stock, use it for a richer base.
• Customize the vegetables. Swap or add vegetables you enjoy—green beans, mushrooms, or parsnips are good options.
• Cook longer for deeper flavor. If you want a more concentrated broth, simmer the soup uncovered before adding the delicate vegetables and chicken so they don’t become mushy.

What to Serve With Pot Pie Soup

This soup pairs beautifully with warm biscuits, crusty bread, or cornbread. Soft dinner rolls, garlic knots, or a cheesy pull-apart bread make the meal even more satisfying.

How to Store & Reheat Leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 6 months. Reheat gently on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
