Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie Soup
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts – You’ll need one pound of boneless skinless chicken breast diced into 1 inch cubes. Try to keep your chunks of chicken consistent sizes so that they all cook through in the same time frame.
- Frozen Peas – Frozen peas taste so much better than canned peas in this pot pie soup.
- Carrots – You can either dice your carrots or cut them into thin circles.
- Yukon Gold Potatoes – These are my favorite potatoes to use. They soak up flavor so well and the skins don’t get chewy! You could use russet potatoes or red potatoes if you prefer.
- Unsalted Butter – Use unsalted butter so that you are able to control the salt level of this pot pie soup.
- All-purpose flour – All-purpose flour is used as the thickener for the broth.
- Olive Oil – I use olive oil to sauté the onions, garlic, and chicken. But you could substitute it with avocado oil, vegetable oil, or even a bit of extra unsalted butter.
- Onion – Diced yellow onion will have the most mild flavor that will blend well into the soup.
- Heavy Cream – Heavy cream makes this soup extra smooth and creamy. You could substitute for half and half if you prefer.
- Chicken Stock – Use chicken stock instead of chicken broth for an extra rich flavor.
- Minced Garlic – You can either mince your own garlic or use the pre-minced garlic in the jar.
- Fresh Thyme and Parsley – Fresh thyme and parsley really makes the difference! Try to use fresh instead of dried.
- Refrigerated Biscuits – Eating a biscuit along with pot pie soup gives it that “pot pie crust” feel. Refrigerated biscuits are easiest, but you could make homemade biscuits if you prefer!
Helpful Tools



How to make Chicken Pot Pie Soup
In a dutch oven or large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and cook until there is no pink on the outside. Then, add the onions and cook until they begin to soften.
Add the carrots, potatoes, and garlic next and stir it together and keep cooking.
Place the butter into the same pot and once melted sprinkle the flour over the top and stir it in. Add the chicken stock and turn the mixture to high heat and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to keep the soup at a simmer and let it simmer for twenty minutes.


While the soup is simmering, prepare the biscuits according the directions on the package.
After the soup has simmered for 20 minutes, add the fresh thyme and parsley, and the frozen peas. Let it simmer for 10 more minutes then add the heavy cream and stir to combine.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve each bowl with a fresh biscuit!

Serving Suggestions
Serve your pot pie soup with easy refrigerator biscuits or homemade biscuits! This soup also goes great with slices of a toasted baguette or some homemade breadsticks.
How to store leftovers
FRIDGE: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Be sure to heat it thoroughly before eating.
FREEZER: Pot pie soup can be stored in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
I recommend making fresh biscuits when you’re reheating your leftovers, but leftover biscuits can be stored a reheated in the oven, microwave, or toaster oven.
Can I use canned carrots and peas in this soup?
Sure! Canned carrots and peas won’t need as much time to cook, so wait to add them towards the end of the cooking process.
Pro Tips
- Dice your potatoes into small cubes so that they cook quickly and evenly.
- If you’re in a pinch (or even a time crunch) sub canned chicken for the diced boneless skinless chicken breasts.
- If you can’t find refrigerated biscuits, grab a tube of refrigerated crescent rolls!

How long in a Instant Pot?
Bruce says
Alternatively, a crock pot. I am easily distracted – stuff on the stove tends to get burnt.
Steve Cole says
Looks great, I will cut out the peas and Carr

We are also “fall people” love soups, stews and chilli, I’ve made this a few times now, sometimes, I’ll mince up a seeded jalapeno or added chili flakes but kept it almost true to your recipe, it’s delicious, I’ve also tried Ina’s Chicken Pot Pie and while good, it bothers my husband and I because of the amount of fat. Thank you for this recipe, I never thought of making our favorite into a soup!

Can this be made in crockpot & how many hours

I don’t think this one would be a great crock pot soup. You would have a hard time getting it to thicken.

The ingredients call for fresh thyme but the directions do not say when to add. Is the thyme an optional garnish?
Julie Evink says
It goes in with the peas! Sorry!
