Ingredients
Serves 6-8
Base Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter (or bacon grease)
1 cup onion, diced
1 cup carrot, diced
1 cup celery, diced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon sage, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried sage)
1 teaspoon rosemary, chopped (or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary)
¼ teaspoon thyme, chopped (or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme)
For the Soup
4 tablespoons flour (rice flour for gluten-free)
6 cups chicken broth
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded/diced
2 cups potatoes, diced
1 cup corn
1 cup peas
½ cup heavy/whipping cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables
Melt the butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2: Add Aromatics
Add the garlic, sage, rosemary, and thyme and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3: Make the Roux
Sprinkle in the flour, mix well to coat the vegetables, and cook for 1 minute. This creates a roux that will thicken the soup.
Step 4: Add Broth and Simmer
Add the chicken broth, cooked chicken, and diced potatoes.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 5: Add Vegetables and Cream
Stir in the corn and peas and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the heavy cream and stir until well combined and heated through.
Step 6: Season and Serve
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Tips for the Best Chicken Pot Pie Soup
💡 Use rotisserie chicken – Saves time and adds great flavor
💡 Don't skip the roux – It's what makes the soup creamy and thick
💡 Cut vegetables evenly – Ensures even cooking
💡 Add frozen peas last – Prevents overcooking
💡 Adjust consistency – Add more broth if too thick, simmer longer if too thin
💡 Fresh herbs are best – But dried works in a pinch
