How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

- Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 2: Thicken the Base
- Sprinkle the flour over the sautéed vegetables and stir to coat evenly.
- Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Step 3: Build the Soup
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
- Add the milk or cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4: Add Chicken and Peas
- Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer for 10–15 minutes until the soup thickens and all the flavors meld together.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
