The Story & Intro
Bonjour my friends! 👋 I’m Lacamorea, a 31-year-old French girl who traded the cobblestone streets of Paris for the cozy kitchens of America 🇫🇷➡️🇺🇸. Ever since I could reach the countertop, I’ve been whisking, stirring, and sneaking tastes of cake batter when no one was looking 🍰😋. Cooking isn’t just my passion it’s my love language, my therapy, and my favorite way to make people smile.
Chicken Pot Pie Soup has always felt like a warm hug in a bowl to me. I still remember my first winter in the U.S., missing home terribly, when a neighbor brought over a pot of something creamy, steamy, and comforting. One spoonful and I was sold. It tasted familiar yet new like classic chicken pot pie, but easier, cozier, and perfect for sharing.
Now, this Chicken Pot Pie Soup is one of my most-loved recipes. It’s rich without being heavy, creamy without being complicated, and filled with tender chicken, vegetables, and nostalgic flavor. Whenever life feels overwhelming, I make this soup. It simmers gently, filling the kitchen with comfort, and suddenly everything feels okay again.
If you love classic comfort food but want something simpler than rolling pie crusts, Chicken Pot Pie Soup is your answer. I promise one bowl, and you’ll understand why this recipe has a permanent place in my heart 💛

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Chicken
Start by cooking your chicken in a large pot with a little butter until it’s just done. Remove it, let it cool slightly, then shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2: Build the Flavor Base
In the same pot, melt more butter and sauté the onion, carrots, and celery until soft and fragrant. Add garlic and stir until your kitchen smells amazing.
Step 3: Create the Creamy Base
Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly to create a roux. Slowly pour in chicken broth, whisking as you go. This step is key for that thick, pot-pie-like texture.
Step 4: Make It Cozy
Add milk or cream, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir gently and let it simmer until slightly thickened.
Step 5: Bring It All Together
Return the chicken to the pot, add peas and corn, and simmer until everything is tender and cozy. Remove the bay leaf and taste adjust seasoning if needed.
That’s it. You’ve just made homemade Chicken Pot Pie Soup with love 💕
