Description
This creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup has all the cozy flavors of a traditional chicken pot pie — tender chicken, hearty veggies, and buttery richness — without the crust! It’s an easy, one-pot comfort food perfect for chilly days.
Ingredients
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium yellow onion (1 cup chopped)
- 2 medium carrots (thinly sliced into rings)
- 2 celery sticks (finely chopped)
- 8 oz white or brown mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 3–4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes (peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch pieces)
- 5 cups cooked chicken (shredded)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 1/4 cup parsley (finely chopped, plus more for garnish)
Instructions
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
- Add Mushrooms and Garlic: Stir in mushrooms and cook until tender, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add Flour: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir continuously for 1–2 minutes to create a roux.
- Add Stock and Potatoes: Gradually whisk in chicken stock until smooth. Add salt, pepper, and sliced potatoes. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
- Add Chicken and Veggies: Stir in shredded chicken, peas, and corn. Simmer for another 5–7 minutes until heated through.
- Finish with Cream and Parsley: Lower the heat and stir in whipping cream and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve: Garnish with additional parsley and enjoy with biscuits or crusty bread.
Notes
- To make this extra creamy, replace 1 cup of chicken stock with milk or half-and-half.
- You can use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- For a pot pie twist, serve with puff pastry squares or pie crust crackers on top.
- This soup thickens as it cools — add extra stock if reheating leftovers.
