Creamy chicken pot pie soup is like sitting down to a bowl of comfort. It is easy to make and has all of the flavors of our favorite pot pie in soup form. It is great on its own or top it with a biscuit or a little crumbled pie crust for the full pot pie experience.
If you love a good creamy chicken pot pie, you are going to love this creamy chicken soup! It is hearty and full of the good stuff. Plus it smells amazing as it simmers on the stove.
This is a great warm you up meal that is easily adapted to the ingredients you have on hand. Float a biscuit or bits of pie crust on top for the perfect pot pie finish.
To me, a major part of the draw of a soup on a cold day is the warm comforting hug it gives you from the inside out. There is just something so cozy and homey about a nice bowl of hot soup.
Very few things get more cozy and homey than a homemade chicken pot pie. So, why not bring two of the coziest, homiest, deliciousest (sure, why not?!) things around together for the ultimate comfort food in a bowl!
This could easily be made with leftover chicken if you have it. Otherwise a couple of boneless chicken breasts or thighs will be perfect.
Then you are just a few minutes away from a hot bowl of love. The creamy broth, chunky veggies and bites of chicken are a perfect base.

What are your favorite fall and winter comfort foods? We still have a few good months of cold weather left, so there is plenty of time to enjoy!
Easy Adaptations:
Shred up some leftover chicken or part of a rotisserie chicken instead of using raw chicken if that’s what you have. Just toss it in with the veggies.
I sometimes use a bag of frozen mixed vegetables instead of peas and carrots. Use whatever you like best.
If you don’t have biscuits or pie crust on hand, don’t despair. The soup is great on it’s own as well.

What is funny is just the other day I was pondering what soups haven't been featured on my blog and I had trouble coming up with some! Time to make Chicken Pot Pie Soup! 😁
You better get on it, chicken pot pie soup is definite winner!
Oh, yum! Now this looks like comfort food! Pinned and sharing.
It is definitely a big bowl of comfort. Thank you so much!
Carlee, you know that I am a huge fan of soup to warm me up from the inside out. And this one is not only a soup to warm me up but it is one that brings back fond memories from childhood. For some reason when I was a kid I used to love pot pies, the cheap banquet style. Now that I'm all grown-up this is perfect! And it's gluten free. I am so excited. Pinning this I am going to make it very soon. Thanks for sharing.
We used to always have those pot pies when my parents would go out and we had a sitter or had to fend for ourselves. They were fun and have good memories for me too! Now I'm spoiled by homemade pot pies. Either way, the soup is a winner! Thank you, Nikki!
Thank you!
