Perfect One-Pot Meal: Chicken Pot Pie Soup

This homemade Chicken Pot Pie Soup is very similar to my Chicken Pot Pie Bake, but I’ve revised the recipe so it’s even easier to prepare without the effort of making a pie crust.

It transforms all of my favorite classic flavors of the traditional pot pie filling and serves it in soup form. Rich, thick, and filling–it’s the perfect comfort food for cold winter weather!

What I especially love about this made-from-scratch soup is that it is a complete meal-in-one.

It is loaded with protein, vegetables, and starch–so you can skip the sides because it is a hearty and substantial supper served as a soup.

Give yourself an immune boost with a homemade soup that’s “good for the soul.” Filled with vitamins and minerals, it’s the ultimate comfort food that may help cure a cold and stop the sniffles, and it definitely delivers delicious flavors all in one dish.

Why We Love This Chicken Pot Pie Soup Recipe

  • Quick and easy to prepare in one pot.
  • Simple to make because we skip the crust.
  • Complete meal-in-one because it’s filled with chicken, veggies, and potatoes.
  • Same flavors as chicken pot pie served in soup form.

Pre-cut veggies can also be used from the produce section, or a 12 ounce bag of mixed frozen veggies can be used as a substitute for the corn and peas.

  • Pick Your Potato: I use Russet potatoes in this recipe, but you can use a different type of potato, or replace potatoes with cauliflower or noodles if you prefer.
  • Make it lighter: Half and half or whole milk can replace the heavy cream, if you prefer to make this soup a bit lighter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I serve with my Chicken Pot Pie Soup?

Chicken pot pie soup is so hearty and loaded with tender chicken, potatoes, and veggies–it is a complete meal-in-one. However, if you would like to pair it with something simple, homemade biscuits, dinner rolls, or a crusty French bread would be great.

Can I make this gluten-free?

To make this a gluten-free soup, you can use corn starch instead of flour. Combine 1/2 cup cold water with 2 tablespoons of corn starch and stir it in with the cream during the last 5 minutes. Then, let it simmer and thicken the soup.

Can I freeze this Chicken Pot Pie Soup?

No, I don’t recommend freezing soups that contain a lot of dairy because it often tends to separate. Also potatoes don’t freeze well in soups either.
