Ingredient List

Chicken- Cooked chicken, cut up in chunks, makes this recipe extra quick. Feel free to use rotisserie chicken even!

Veggies- Onions, carrots, celery, and green peas bring that classic pot pie flavor to this soup.

Soup Broth Ingredients- For the creamy soup broth, youll need chicken broth, half and half, and butter. Flour thickens the mix up into a more pot pie-like consistency.

Recipe Twists

Add extra veggies. Mushrooms, corn, frozen peas, green beans, and potatoes are lovely options.

Chicken pot pie soup with canned cream of chicken soup gives you a shortcut on a hectic weeknight. Replace the flour, half-and-half, and chicken broth with two cans of cream of chicken soup. Fill both cans with milk and add that to the soup.

Use a different protein. This recipe also works well with leftover turkey, shredded chicken, or cubed ham.

Top with cheese! Freshly grated parmesan cheese tastes amazing sprinkled over a hot bowl of this soup. x1f9c0

For a gluten-free version, thicken the soup with cornstarch instead of flour.

Tips and Notes

Stir the flour into the butter and sauteed veggies. If you add it later, after pouring in the broth and half and half, it tends to clump.

If the soup is too thick, you can just add more broth, but if its too thin for your taste, then add a little cornstarch slurry and stir until it thickens up more.

This recipe is excellent in a Dutch oven. These large pots conduct heat well on the stovetop and oven. And a good one will last forever.

Make-Ahead and Storage Instructions

You can easily make this soup one or two days ahead of time. After it cools, store the soup or leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat it in the microwave or on the stovetop over medium heat until warmed through.
