It’s finally starting to feel like fall in Virginia so I’m enjoying all the soup I can like this Chicken Pot Pie Soup. The mornings are pretty chilly but by the time my daughter gets off the bus it’s a perfect 62 degrees. Optimal weather for walks to the park. As the sun starts to fade it gets a bit chilly again and it’s so nice to enjoy a warm bowl of soup that heats you up from the inside out.
Soup is such an easy thing to make and reheats nicely making dinner or lunch the next day a breeze. I also love how versatile soups are you can really add or switch up ingredients to suit what you like or just use up what you have on hand. It’s a great way to load up on veggies. I mean, who doesn’t want to eat their peas and carrots when they’re in a yummy creamy soup? Let me tell you how to make this delicious Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe.
First, what is Chicken Pot Pie?
Chicken Pot Pie is savory meat pie with a flaky crust. The filling of the pie is made up of carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and chicken. It’s a pretty popular comforting dish to enjoy in the cooler months. All I did to make this soup was stretch out the filling of my one skillet Easy Chicken Pot Pie with some milk and chicken stock and enjoy the flaky crust as a side.
How to this Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup:
First, you’ll cook the diced chicken and then the celery, carrots, onions, and potatoes in a large stock pot until softened. Before adding in the liquid, you’ll add in a few tablespoons flour which will help to thicken the soup.
While regular chicken pot pie does have some liquid in the filling, the soup has more milk and also some cream to stretch the filling out and make it thick and creamy.
You’ll then just simmer the soup until thickened and add back in the chicken along with the frozen peas and cook just until everything is heated through and the soup is thick and creamy. I at the frozen peas at the very end to keep their color nice and vibrant.
How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Puff Pastry?
I like to enjoy my soup with some sort of carb like crackers, homemade bread, or rolls. For this soup, puff pastry is the perfect side. It has tons of flaky layers like the typical crust of a classic pot pie making it the perfect addition.
You can make them into any shape- squares, triangles, circles, hearts… Just start out by thawing the frozen puff pastry sheet, roll it smooth, and cut it out into whatever shape you desire with cookie cutters or a knife. Brush with an egg wash and bake it at 400 degrees for 12 minutes and it’s ready to serve with the soup. Super easy!

A home run. Chicken pot pie is a favorite of mine. About 40 minutes to complete is perfect. I have no patience to make the pie crust, but this gives me options. Maybe I will buy some croissants to go with this.
I’m sold – this soup is a winner! Quick question, could it freeze and if so, reheat from thawed? Not that there will be any left to freeze! 🙂
