Swaps & Variations
This Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup is easy to customize with what you have on hand.
- Vegetables: Swap in green beans, sweet potatoes, or other sturdy vegetables you have on hand. Fresh or frozen both work.
- Use leftover turkey: A perfect swap for the chicken, especially after the holidays.
- Make it lighter: Use whole milk instead of heavy cream for a lighter creamy base.
- Add a little heat: A pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne adds warmth without changing the classic pot pie flavor.
Tips For The best Chicken Pot Pie Soup
A few details will ensure this easy, creamy chicken pot pie soup turns out every single time.
- Cook the flour briefly: Let the flour cook for a minute or two so the soup thickens properly and stays smooth.
- Use warm broth: Adding warm or hot broth keeps the cooking process moving and prevents the pot from losing heat.
- Don’t rush the veggies: Let the onions, carrots, and celery soften before adding liquid for better flavor.
Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup
On days when you need dinner to handle itself, this soup works beautifully in the slow cooker.
- Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, broth, peas, and corn to the slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
- About 30 minutes before serving, whisk the flour into the cream and stir it into the soup along with the cooked chicken. Continue cooking until warmed through and thickened.
Chicken Pot Pie Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoon butter
- 1 med onion, diced
- 2 cups Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery stalks, diced
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 5-6 cloves garlic, minced
- ⅓ cup flour
- 2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
- 8 cups chicken broth, hot
- 3 cups cooked chicken
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup heavy cream
- kosher salt and fresh ground pepper,
Instructions
- Over a medium-high heat, add the butter along with the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion.
- Once the potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion have begun to soften, add the garlic and sliced mushrooms along with the thyme.
- Once the mushrooms have softened, sprinkle in the flour and stir continuously for a few more minutes - cooking out the raw flour taste.
- At this point, and very slowly, add in the hot chicken broth. Pour in a little broth at a time and stir. Once the flour becomes incorporated after each pour of broth, you can add the rest.
- Let the soup simmer until the the potatoes and the rest of the vegetables are tender - approximately 15-20 minutes.
- To finish, add the frozen corn and peas, chicken, and heavy cream, cooking until they are warmed though.
- Serve and enjoy!

Storage & Reheating
- Store leftovers: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently: Warm on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add a splash of milk or broth if the soup needs loosening.
- Freezer-friendly: This soup freezes well for up to 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating to help prevent the cream from separating.
Recipe Testing Notes & Troubleshooting
I’ve made this soup enough times to learn a few things along the way. Here’s what actually matters.
- Cook the flour: Give the flour a couple of minutes in the pot before adding the broth so the finished soup doesn’t taste floury.
- Add the broth gradually: Pour it in slowly at first, stirring as you go, for a smooth, lump-free base.
- Cut the vegetables evenly: Keeping the potatoes, carrots, and celery roughly the same size helps everything cook at the same rate.
- Too thick or too thin? Add a splash of broth to loosen it, or whisk in a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water.
- Add the chicken at the end: Rotisserie chicken is already cooked and only needs enough time to warm through.
