Guys, its really happening.
We move to Chicago in just 3 days! Ive packed 17 boxes dedicated just for kitchen needs, which means I should be ready to make these pot pie soups in no time.
I mean, what else will Butters and I be doing in 0 degree weather? You know Butters is just too dainty to be walking the streets laced with ice and snow.
So you can count on us being on the couch, wrapped in all the electric blankets we can find, inhaling these biscuits one by one as we sop up all the creamy goodness of this soup.
It has all the best flavors of a chicken pot pie but in soup form, which I personally think is even better than pie form. Plus, the flaky mile high biscuits are everything here.
Now I should mention that each soup should be served with 1 biscuit per serving, but I will totally turn a blind eye if you plan to have 3-4 biscuits with your soup
Since thats what I just did last night.

This is perfect if you have leftovers from this Roast Chicken and Vegetables or you made a big batch of this Crockpot Shredded Chicken or Instant Pot Shredded Chicken that you have stashed in the fridge.
Biscuits Make Everything Better
While nothing can beat a homemade biscuit, sometimes you just need to cut some corners for your time . This meal is low maintenance and is delicious with biscuits straight from a can in the freezer aisle. Pop them in the oven before you start on the soup, and they will be ready just in time to throw them in the bowl. If you time, check out my recipe for buttermilk biscuits, which come together in under 30 minutes!

Can I Make The Soup Vegan
To make vegan chicken pot pie soup, omit the chicken, omit the butter, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth, replace the half and half with plain, unsweetened non-dairy milk of your choice whisked with 1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch. You can add mushrooms, tofu or additional veggies in place of the chicken.
How Do You Thicken Chicken Pot Pie Soup
This chicken pot pie soup should already be luxuriously thick and creamy due to the flour, half and half and cornstarch, but if you would still like a thicker soup, you can use any of these methods:
- Cornstarch: This is my preferred method and super easy. Remove about ¼ cup soup and whisk in 1 -2 tablespoon cornstarch with a fork until smooth then whisk it back into the soup. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Repeat if needed.
- Flour: Flour is half as potent as cornstarch so you will need twice as much. Remove about ½ cup soup, whisk in 2-4 tablespoons flour with a fork until smooth then whisk it back into the soup. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Repeat if needed.
- Mash potatoes: Microwave a few potatoes, mash them and add them to the soup.
- Add creamed corn: Add one can of creamed corn to add corn flavor and thicken the soup.
- Puree soup: Remove 1-2 cups of the soup and puree it in your blender or food processor. It will add body to the soup while preserving the flavor.
- Puree beans: Add cannellini beans to a blender along with some of the soup. Puree until smooth to create a paste. Stir back into the soup and warm through.

How To Make Healthy Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Note: full ingredients list & measurements provided in the Recipe Card, below.
Step One: First, heat a large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken to the pot. Cook for four to six minutes until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Theres no need to brown the chicken or sear it, you just want to ensure that is fully cooked.
Step Two:Next, its time to cook the veggies and aromatics. Add the diced onion, diced celery, minced garlic, diced mushrooms, salt, pepper, and herbs to the pot. Cook for two to three minutes until the onions begin to become translucent.
Step Three: Now, add the potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken broth. Let everything simmer for fifteen to twenty minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
Step Four: Once the potatoes are tender, add the chicken back to the pot, and pour in the coconut milk. Give everything a good stir until well combined. Next, stir in the arrowroot starch and cook for just a few more minutes and allow the soup to thicken.
Step Five: If you want the soup to be thicker, you can add in a bit more arrowroot starch. Lastly, give the soup a taste and add more salt or pepper if needed. Enjoy!
Tips For Making Chicken Pot Pie Soup
- 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.
- We use milk instead of heavy cream to keep the soup a little lighter. Dont worry, it is still really, really creamy!
- 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 dont 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.
Fill a bowl with chicken pot pie soup and get cozy! This easy soup is guaranteed to be a family dinner favorite! Enjoy!

Chicken Pot Pie Soup Ingredients
- Butter: Salted or unsalted butter works fine.
- Yellow onion: White onion may be substituted.
- Garlic: If needed bottled garlic will work too.
- Celery: I like to chop these up somewhat thin. Every now and then you get a batch that seems to take forever to cook to a tender bite.
- Carrots: When cutting larger carrots I like to quarter through the length and then dice.
- Low-sodium chicken broth:Homemade is a great option here if you have some in the freezer.
- Russet potatoes: If what youve got are red or yellow potatoes those can be used as well.
- Herbs: Here I like the blend of thyme, rosemary, bay leaves and parsley. Fresh or dried work great.
- Salt and pepper: Youll likely find soup needs a fair amount of salt or it can taste a little flat.
- Flour: This is used to thicken the soup. If you need to replace with something else the soup can be thickened with a cornstarch slurry .
- Milk and heavy cream: If you want the soup a little lighter you could try replacing the cream with more milk, it just wont be quite as rich.
- Peas: I like the sweeter flavor of petite peas best but any will do, even canned if needed .
- Corn: Again petite corn is best. Canned corn will work if thats what you have .
- Cooked chicken: Leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken or even shredded turkey works great.
Can I Use Vegetable Broth Instead
I do not recommend vegetable broth because it does not have the chicken flavor which is crucial in this chicken pot pie soup recipe. That doesnt mean you cant use vegetable broth, but it does mean the soup will not taste rich and flavorful. If you do use chicken broth, then you may want to add additional chicken bouillon, but taste as you go because you dont want to make your soup too salty!

What Chicken Is Best
I highly recommend chicken thighs for this chicken pot pie soup recipe. I didnt always use chicken thighs for my soup recipes, but once I started, there was NO going back. Chicken thighs are dark meat which means they are inherently juicier, richer tasting and produce far more tender chicken than chicken breasts. They are also harder to overcook and stay tender for days with a more palate pleasing texture, even when reheated for leftovers.
In addition, chicken thighs are browned first which adds an important layer of flavor to the overall soup as all those golden, flavorful bits become part of the broth.
