Ingredients For Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Exact amounts are in the recipe card below.
Unsalted Butter: For sautéing and flavor & richness.
AROMATICS: Onion, Celery, Carrots, Garlic
CHICKEN: Chicken Breast, boneless thighs, or cooked & shredded or cooked ground chicken (or chicken meatballs) can be used.
SEASONINGS: Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Dried Sage, Fresh Rosemary (or dried)
All-Purpose Flour: To add a little thickness and velvety texture.
Chicken Broth: Low sodium so you can control the salt.
Small Gold Potatoes: Or use red or russet (peel russets).
Frozen Mixed Vegetables: A great way to add veggies and color with no chopping.
Heavy Cream: Just enough to add creaminess and richness.
Fresh Parsley: For bright, herby flavor and pretty flecks of color.
Ingredient Variations
You can really make this soup with any variation you want to fit your diet or preference. Here are some great suggestions:
Carb & Base Swaps
- Swap out the potatoes:
- Gnocchi – Use store-bought potato gnocchi in place of potatoes. Add in the last 10–12 minutes of simmering for a pillowy-soft texture.
- Egg Noodles – Give the soup a “chicken noodle pot pie” feel. Stir in cooked egg noodles just before serving.
- Biscuits or Dumplings – Drop biscuit dough or dumpling dough into the hot soup and simmer covered until cooked through.
- Cauliflower Florets – Great low-carb alternative! Simmer with the broth until tender.
Protein Variations
- Change the flavor with different meats:
- Rotisserie Chicken – A shortcut option that adds a lot of flavor and saves you time.
- Italian Sausage – Use mild or spicy sausage. Brown it first and drain any excess fat.
- Leftover Turkey – Perfect for the holidays, just swap in shredded or cubed leftover turkey for the chicken.
- Bacon or Pancetta – Add a few slices of chopped, crisped bacon for a smoky flavor boost (especially good with creamier versions).
Vegetable Options
- Try different veggie combos to suit your taste or the season:
- Fresh Green Beans – Blanch and add near the end to keep their bright color and texture.
- Mushrooms – Sauté with the onions and celery for earthy depth.
- Sweet Potatoes – A colorful and nutrient-rich substitute for gold potatoes.
- Zucchini or Summer Squash – Add during the last 10 minutes of cooking to avoid overcooking.
How To Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Prep Time: 20 min | Cook Time: 45 min | Total: ~1 hour 5 minutes
Sauté The Veggies
• In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for about 5 minutes. Then stir in the carrots and cook another 3 minutes.
Add Chicken and Seasonings
• Stir in the garlic, cubed chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is mostly cooked on the outside. Add garlic powder, onion powder, sage, and rosemary. Mix well.
Make The Base
• Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir constantly for a minute or so to coat everything.
• Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Add Potatoes & Simmer
• Add the chopped potatoes. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover with the lid ajar and let it simmer until the potatoes are fork-tender.
Finish The Soup
• Stir in the frozen mixed vegetables and heavy cream. If using pre-cooked chicken, add it now.
• Add the chopped parsley. Let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to heat everything through.
Taste & Serve
• Adjust salt or pepper if needed, then serve hot. This soup is delicious with crusty bread or biscuits!
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stove over medium-low heat until warmed through.
Freeze leftovers – This soup freezes well for up to 2 months. For the best texture, freeze before adding the cream and finish when reheating.
