Ingredients

  • Butter– for cooking the veggies and adding rich flavor.
  • Onion, carrot, and celery– the start of any good soup!
  • Garlic– minced!
  • Bay leaves– to add flavor.
  • Potatoes– use Yukon gold potatoes for their creamy texture.
  • Flour– to thicken the soup. You can use gluten-free flour.
  • Chicken broth– use your favorite brand.
  • Milk– for best results use 2% or whole milk. You want the soup to be creamy.
  • Thyme– the perfect herb for chicken soup!
  • Chicken– we use shredded rotisserie chicken to keep the soup super simple. Leftover cooked chicken will work too! You can even use leftover turkey.
  • Frozen peas & corn– you don’t need to thaw the veggies.
  • Fresh parsley– to brighten the soup!
  • Pie crust-for making pie crust crackers!

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup

  • In a large soup pot, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add in the garlic, bay leaves, and potatoes. Sprinkle with flour and stir until veggies are coated and flour starts to dissolve.
  • Add in the chicken broth, 1 ½ cups milk, and fresh thyme. Stir and reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer for 20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Stir in the shredded chicken, peas, and corn. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let the soup simmer for another 10 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add the additional ½ cup of milk.
  • Stir in the parsley and remove the bay leaves. Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve with pie crust crackers, if desired.
  • To make the pie crust crackers, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out your favorite pie crust, store bought is fine. Carefully transfer pie crust to a large baking sheet that is lined with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper. Brush the pie crust with a little melted butter and sprinkle with a little salt. Cut into thick strips with a pizza cutter or knife. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until pie crust crackers are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Break into pieces and serve with the chicken pot pie soup.

Recipe Tips

  • To keep it easy, use shredded rotisserie chicken. You can also use leftover turkey and make turkey pot pie soup. This is a great recipe for using up leftover Thanksgiving and Christmas turkey.
  • The soup is loaded with carrots, celery, potatoes, peas, and corn. Lots of kid friendly vegetables:) If you want to throw in mushrooms or green beans, go for it. They would be good too!
  • If you don’t have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme, but only use ½ teaspoon because dried herbs are stronger than fresh herbs.
  • We like to serve the soup with pie crust crackers. They are easy to make, see instructions below. You can also serve the soup with crackers or homemade biscuits.

How to Store

  • Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a pot on the stovetop.
  • Store the pie crust crackers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 4 days.

    This was very tasty and the piecrust crackers are delicious. The only thing I added was about a tablespoon of poultry seasoning. It made all the difference.

    1. Thank you for the heads up on the poultry seasoning. On my way to the store now. Is 35 degrees her in Indiana!

  2. So many people write comments like “looks good” or “ I’m going to make this” which is not helpful. I actually made this soup and OMG!! This soup…… it is creamy, flavorful and just darn delicious. Make it!! I didn’t change a thing and we loved it! Definitely will make again!! Didn’t make the pie crust crisps. Just served with crusty rolls.  Sooooogood!!

  3. 5 stars
    Just made this soup. It is soooo good. Used the 2 cups of milk as 1 and 1/2 cups made soup too thick for me. Very easy to make as I used rotisserie chicken. 

  4. 4 stars
    Great soup! I will definitely make it again. I didn’t have fresh thyme so I’ve excluded it from the recipe. I also used 32 oz of chicken stock instead and added an additional 1/2 a cup each of corn and peas. 

  5. I’ve made this soup twice since Canadian Thanksgiving 2 weeks ago with homemade turkey stock and leftover turkey.  It’s so amazing, everyone loves it!!  Thank you so much! 
     

  6. Tried this recipe last winter and couldn’t wait for the cool weather this year so we could have this delicious soup! My family loves it and I would not change a thing! I have to make double the pie crust crackers because we munch on them after the soup is gone. Thank you for  such a great recipe!!

  7. I LOVED your chicken pot pie recipe so I knew I had to try this next! It was delicious and was a perfect weeknight dinner. To save time, I used mirepoix from Trader Joe’s so I didn’t have to chop as much. I’m SO glad I didn’t skip the pie crust crackers. Oh my goodness, I could just eat those as a meal and be satisfied. They took the soup from tasty to amazing. I used store-bought dough for the crackers and it was perfect. Can’t wait to eat leftovers for lunch!

  8. 5 stars
    My daughter adds garlic and other spices to the crust, I haven’t tried that yest but it sounds good. As for the soup, I served it at christmas eve party along with several other soups. It was a big hit
    ! No leftovers on that one. Great recipe! Thank You!

  9. 5 stars
    I made this for our church soup dinner last night and it was a huge hit! One of the women said “you can make soup for me any time” 🙂 I was hoping for leftovers to take home, but it was the only soup to be completely gone by the end of the evening. At first I thought the pie crust crackers were OK, but when you add them to the bowl, it really does taste just like chicken pot pie. And no soggy crust! I used local, non-homogenized whole milk from grass fed cows, which really added a lot of richness to it. Definitely on the keeper list!

  10. 5 stars
    This soup is wonderful!! Gave me a chance to use the herbs out of my garden! Absolutely wonderful thanks for sharing!

  11. Making this now! Smells amazing. For the simmering on low….do you cover? Can’t wait to have it for dinner tonight!!

  12. I made this soup. It was great but was not as creamy as I thought it would be. Next time I think I will use 1/2 and 1/2. Also, did need the poultry seasoning.

    1. TO MAKE THIS CREAMY I TOOK ONE CUP OF THE COOKED POTATOES AND MASHED THEM ALSO I ADDED ONE CAN OF CREAM OF CHICKEN SOUP. WHEN I MAKE POTATO SOUP I ALWAYS ADD TWO CANS OF CELERY SOUP IT WILL MAKE IT VERY CREAMY……………AWESOME!!!

  13. WE MADE THIS YESTERDAY IT WAS VERY GOOD INFACT TODAY EVEN BETTER NEXT TIME JACK WANTS TO MAKE THE CRACKERS YUM, YUM!!!!

  14. Best chicken pot pie soup recipe. I add the juice from half a lemon at the end. For chicken I use an entire rotisserie chicken. This soup is absolutely fantastic!!!

  15. 5 stars
    This was really good and pretty easy.
    My son, who doesn’t really do veggies or soup, went for seconds.
    Don’t skip the crust crackers, they make the recipe!
    Will definitely be going into rotation here. Thanks for a great recipe!

  16. 5 stars
    BEST soup ever!! We went dairy free and made it with almond milk- and we couldn’t even tell the difference! The pie crust crackers are the cherry on top!

  17. How long does this keep in the fridge? I am hoping to bring this and your homemade biscuits to a friend who just had a baby 🙂

  18. 5 stars for the soup! Amazing! I would make my pie crust from scratch next time, though. The soup is so lovely and soulful… it deserves the small extra step; a simple “no-fail pie crust” will be the absolute perfect touch!

  19. 5 stars
    This soup is SOOO good! My hubby has started requesting double batches. Just hoping he can eat it all while it’s still good in the fridge! I urge you not to skip any ingredients OR the pie crust crackers. This soup just has such a wonderful, home-cooked, comfort food flavor. Just delicious! It would really be sad to leave out the thyme or the bay leaves, or anything. The ONLY thing I altered was to use whole milk because that is what I had in the house and I wanted my soup a bit creamier anyhow. I ended up making this a second time the first week, and now will be making it again 2 weeks later because we are already craving it again! Will definitely be a regular in our house. Thank you for a great recipe!

  20. I tried it last night and it was good. I didn’t have fresh thyme so I used dried and it was just as tasty. I had leftovers and it thickened up the next day into more of a filling, still yummy!

  21. 5 stars
    Just made this soup. Also made my own pie crust crackers – nice touch! Easy and delicious. I’ll be making again.

  22. 5 stars
    Made this tonight, we LOVED the soup!!
    Super easy to make and so delicious, definitely going to add it to my rotation for the winter season ❤
    Also, I love all your recipes – THANK YOU for sharing!

  23. 5 stars
    Excellent recipe! I did thicken mine up just a hair with some cornstarch, but all of the flavors came together so nicely. Loved this!

  24. Is there a way to make this in the crockpot? I have to bring soup to work and I was already trying to figure out how to make your pot pie (EVERYONE requests we bring this to fall gatherings) into soup when I stumbled across your recipe.

    1. 5 stars
      LOVE this soup! For crockpot: cook celery, carrots & onion in butter in sauce pan until tender. Then I followed the directions. For cook time:
      4-6 hours on LOW
      11/2-21/2 hours on HIGH

  25. 5 stars
    Wow this soup is amazing, just what I was craving! Especially love it with the pie crust crackers. Will definitely be making this one over and over again!

  26. 5 stars
    Why 5 stars? Delicious and easy to make! Truly tasted like a chicken pot pie! Did not make crust like topping but was still great! Thus us a keeper!

    Oh.My.Word

    Maria you knocked it out of the park with this one!
    My family just loved it. The pie crust crackers were a perfect compliment.
    My dais a vegetarian so made this with veggie broth and added my husband and my chicken at the end.
    I added mozzarella cheese to hers for a big protein.
    Definitely on rotation at our house now!
    By the way, I have been a fan of yours when you were just two peas!!
    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

  28. 5 stars
    I made this soup last night. Wow! Just… Wow! This is my new favorite soup. It’s even better the next day, like most soups. Very happy! Thank you for this recipe!

  29. 5 stars
    This was delicious. I didn’t want to use heavy cream and it was thick and tasted amazing. No precooked potatoes..yes please so good!!

  30. This recipe is absolutely divine. I will be making it again and again. The taste is just fantastic. I used dried thyme and dried parsley because that’s what I had on hand. I will be sharing this with my family and friends. Thank you.

  31. 3 stars
    I wanted to love this….but I didn’t. I read the reviews and followed the recipe but still found it bland. I have leftovers and will add chicken gravy and some crushed stuffing mix to it next time. I’m hoping that will liven it up.

  32. 5 stars
    Didnt have potatoes–used Idahoan Buttery Mashed Potato flakes to thicken soup. Was short on chicken broth–added Magic Mushroom Powder to up the umami flavor. Hubby who loves chicken pot pie, approved of this soup recipe. Thank you for sharing.

  33. 5 stars
    Wanted additional ideas on what to do with rotisserie chicken, this was a great recipe! I used whole milk and it did not thicken as I wish it had. Looking forward to making it again. Didn’t have the pie crust for the chips, but pita chips were a good substitute!

  34. I’ve made this a couple times now. The first time I found it a little bland and thin but still not bad. The next time I added some poultry seasoning, a touch more flour and 3/4 c milk & 3/4c heavy cream. The taste was better but still a thin soup. Should it be thin?

  35. Great recipe! Truly lived up to the name. We ate ours with buttery biscuits, and it was a good combination. Not a pea fan, so used green beans instead. Next time we will increase the amount of corn and carrots. We used the dried thyme and knew to go less, but did more than you suggested. The amount worked for us. Was a hit at home, and we will DEFINITELY make it again.

  36. 5 stars
    This was delicious! I sent this recipe all over my office. To make the pie crust crackers I bought the boxed pie crust mix and followed the directions by rolling out the ball and cutting out rectangles.

  37. 3 stars
    The pie crust crackers were unique- and tasty! The soup took more than double the time given to cook. Taste was ok, but for the effort chicken pot pie would have been better. The potatoes just didn’t seem to belong.

  38. Excellent soup! I made another chicken pot pie soup years and years ago. I lost the recipe and my family kept nattering at me to find it and make it again. I couldn’t find it, but this one is almost exactly the same! I add a little sherry at the end (or red wine vinegar)…serve with biscuits…and sometimes add mushrooms depending on who’s eating. Highly recommend this recipe!

  39. 5 stars
    I have made your chicken pot pie recipe several times and I thought I’m going to make the soup!! It’s very delicious on this fall rainy day in Seattle. I didn’t add any extra salt as I salted the chicken I roasted and the chicken stock has plenty of sodium. I used oregano and 1 cup milk half cup heavy cream. I served it with buttered croissants. Thank you.

  40. 5 stars
    Thank you so much for this recipe! I make it all the time, and my picky kids absolutely INHALE it! It’s so wonderful to have a healthy soup that is easy to make. They go crazy over the little pie crust crackers to sprinkle on top!

  41. 5 stars
    Giving it a 5 without even making it. Recipe is so straight forward with simple ingredients. Going to take that small turkey out of freezer to make this soup. I had it in a restaurant this week and loved it. Now I can make my own.

  42. 5 stars
    I made this for a church social. We had eight different soups, keeping warm, in slow cookers. To my surprise, mine was the only one that was empty….why? I made this absolutely delicious chicken pot pie soup..first time!! I’m definitely making it again!! In this recipe I did not use fresh seasonings. I used dry and I not only used milk for it made it a little too thin for my taste….so, I used half and half,. Instead. Thank you, so much for putting this recipe together. I had many compliments that I am giving back to you! Thank you again!!
    By the way, the pie crust crackers are definite must to have with the soup!!
