In the pot’s embrace, a symphony unfolds,
Onion, celery, carrots in stories untold.

Flour weaves a tale, thickening with care.

Potatoes simmer, soft in the broth’s gentle art,
Chicken, peas, and corn play their part.
Creamy dreams swirl, a soup to savor,
In each spoonful, comfort to flavor.

Making your own chicken pot pie soup at home is like having the best comfort food ever. It beats anything you can get from a can or at the store, and the bonus is that it’s also better for you.

Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Perfect seasoning is crucial for exceptional chicken pot pie soup, enhancing each spoonful to rival restaurant quality. Tasting and adjusting at the end reveals the secret to savoring the delicious results of your homemade creation.

Start with Aromatics: Begin by cooking onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in butter. These ingredients serve as the base, giving your soup a flavorful kick.

Mushrooms for Flavor: Saute mushrooms until they turn a lovely golden color. This step not only enhances the taste but also adds an extra boost of flavor to your soup.

Flour for Thickness: Add only 1/3 cup of flour to thicken the soup and give it a creamy texture.

Chicken Stock for Flavor: Opt for homemade bone broth for the best taste, but if not available, store-bought chicken stock works just fine.

Potatoes of Choice: Use Yukon gold potatoes to bring a delicious and hearty element to the soup.

Versatile Chicken: Both light and dark meat are excellent choices for the soup, offering flexibility based on your preference.

Convenient Peas and Corn: Utilize frozen peas and corn for ease, especially if they’re stored in your freezer. However, if needed, canned corn is a suitable alternative for the recipe.

Cream Options: Whether it’s heavy cream, regular whipping cream, or a lighter option, like light cream, choose based on your preference for a creamy texture.

Parsley for Flavor and Garnish: Add parsley to the soup for its flavorful contribution. Use it as a garnish to enhance the dish with color and a touch of freshness.

Oven Roasted Chicken: Cook your chicken in the oven for a tender and juicy result, complete with a crispy and salty skin.

Instant Pot Whole Chicken: Opt for the Instant Pot for the quickest way to prepare a whole chicken, ensuring a speedy and efficient cooking process.

Kitchen Tip:

A Dutch oven is a great kitchen tool for cooking soup. We really like using this 5 1/2 Qt Dutch Oven – it’s one of our most-used pots. It heats up nicely and can be used on the stove and in the oven. A good pot can stay with you for a very long time.
