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.

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.
Sounds like the perfect meal!
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!
The pie crust crackers make it extra special!
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.
Thank you!
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!!
Yahoo! I am so glad the soup was loved by everyone there!
Your next cookbook ought to be about soups.
Ha! I love soup!!
This was such a great winter day soup! And the recipe was so easy to follow
Very good! I used rotisserie chicken but didn’t change anything else. My husband also gives it 5 stars!
Glad you both loved it!
This was delicious! I was craving chicken pot pie and came across this recipe. Totally satisfied my craving and perfect for a fall evening. I left out the corn and peas and added mushrooms instead. I’ll definitely be adding this to our rotation!
I am so glad you loved the soup.
Made this soup today. very good. I used mixed veggies instead of peas and corn also added mushrooms as I love them. Love the pie crust crackers finishes the soup!

Love all the recipes from Two Peas and Their Pod, but this is a real standout. So delicious! You won’t regret making it. I left out the peas and used plan based chicken personally.
So glad you loved the soup!
This soup is so filling and flavorful. I’ve used all different foods for the “crust”. Crescent roll sheets, Hawaiian rolls, and crackers.
Oh, fun!
