Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup

All the comforting flavors of chicken pot pie in a hearty, creamy soup—perfect for cozy family dinners!

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 lb cooked chicken breast, shredded or chopped
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups whole milk or heavy cream
• 2 cups diced potatoes
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
• ½ tsp ground black pepper
• Puff pastry or biscuits (optional, for serving)

Instructions

1. Sauté the Vegetables

1. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large pot over medium heat until melted.
2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.

2. Make the Base

1. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir until fully combined.
2. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
3. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to ensure a smooth mixture.
4. Add the milk or heavy cream and stir until well blended.

3. Simmer the Soup

1. Stir in the diced potatoes, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
2. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

4. Add Chicken and Vegetables

1. Stir in the shredded chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn.
2. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until heated through.

5. Serve

1. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
2. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with puff pastry for a pot pie feel, or serve with warm biscuits on the side for dipping.
