Chicken Pot Pie Soup

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.

Today, I’m wrapping you up in a bowl of pure comfort with Chicken Pot Pie Soup. This recipe instantly takes me back to chilly evenings when the windows fog up, music hums softly in the background, and something creamy simmers on the stove. I remember my first winter in America everything felt new, exciting, and a little overwhelming. That’s when I discovered chicken pot pie soup, and oh là là… it felt like a warm hug from a friend I didn’t know I needed.

What I love about chicken pot pie soup is how it captures everything we adore about classic chicken pot pie tender chicken, sweet vegetables, creamy sauce but in spoonable, cozy form. No rolling dough, no fuss, just comfort in every bite. I’ve made this chicken pot pie soup for busy weeknights, lazy Sundays, and even for friends who “don’t like soup” (spoiler: they went back for seconds 😄).

If you’re craving something hearty, nostalgic, and unbelievably soothing, this chicken pot pie soup is about to become your new favorite. Let’s cook together 💛

🛒 Ingredients

Here’s what makes this soup so magical — simple, humble ingredients coming together beautifully:

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup frozen peas
• ½ cup corn (optional but lovely)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional for serving:

• Flaky biscuits or puff pastry croutons 🥐

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Start with the base
   In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5–7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
2. Add the garlic
   Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds just until aromatic.
3. Create the creamy foundation
   Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir constantly for 1–2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. This is what gives chicken pot pie soup that thick, comforting texture.
4. Pour in the broth
   Slowly whisk in chicken broth, making sure no lumps remain. Let it simmer gently until slightly thickened.
5. Add chicken and seasoning
   Stir in cooked chicken, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes so flavors marry beautifully.
6. Make it creamy
   Pour in milk and heavy cream. Stir gently and let the soup warm through don’t boil.
7. Finish with veggies
   Add peas and corn. Cook for another 5 minutes until tender.
8. Taste and adjust
   Adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with biscuits or crusty bread.
