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.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
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.
