Ingredients for Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Chicken – I most often use chicken breasts, but thighs will work in this recipe as well. You can use bone in or boneless – just ensure they’re skinless.
Vegetables – Frozen peas and carrots or other frozen vegetables like corn or green beans make this recipe a cinch! If you have leftover cooked or roasted veggies, add them shortly before serving. Diced potatoes can be added along with the chicken if desired (cut them ½-inch).
Soup Base – Half and half or heavy whipping cream gives this recipe its thick and velvety texture that clings to the chicken and vegetables. Short on time? Use two cans of cream of chicken, celery, or mushroom soup.
Dippers – Use puff pastry or prepare pie crust and cut it into squares. I also like to serve this soup with canned or homemade biscuits.
Variations – Pick up the savory flavor by adding a pinch or two of poultry seasoning in Step 1. Feel free to add cooked rice or cooked egg noodles to make a hearty stew, if desired.
How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Storing Leftover Soup

Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups diced onion
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ½ cup diced celery
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme leaves or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 chicken bouillon cube
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup half and half or light cream
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 ½ cups frozen peas and carrots
- 1 sheet puff pastry or 1 single pie crust, optional
Instructions
- In a small skillet, cook the onion and butter over medium heat until slightly softened, about 5 minutes.
- In the bottom of the slow cooker, layer the onions, celery, and garlic cloves. Place the chicken breasts on top of the vegetables and pour the stock over the chicken. Add bouillon, poultry seasoning, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
- If using puff pastry or pie crust, preheat the oven to 375°F about 30 minutes before serving.
- Remove the chicken from the slow cooker and shred it into bite-sized pieces with a fork. Return to the slow cooker. Stir in the peas and carrots.
- In a small bowl, whisk the half and half and cornstarch. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, if using puff pastry or pie crust, while the soup is still cooking, roll it out and cut into 2-inch squares. Brush with butter and sprinkle with salt. Place on a baking sheet and bake puff pastry for 13 to 17 minutes or pie crust for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned and golden.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and top with baked pastry. Sprinkle with parsley and fresh thyme, if desired. Serve immediately.

My family really liked this. I added egg noodles instead of biscuits. I’m just giving four stars because it didn’t thicken in the slow cooker… Next time I’ll just transfer it to the stove for that portion. Mine was a little bland, but I didn’t use the chicken bouillon so that’s probably why… We don’t use chicken bouillon so I just need to think of an alternative way to flavor it up! My very picky son really liked it and it was a shock to see him eating vegetables! My eldest daughter took leftovers in a thermos for lunch the next day! I consider those both major wins!
I am going now to make the chicken crock pot soup! I do not have all the ingredients, but I think that it will be really good! I will let you know after it is done and see if it is any good.
I’m just curious. When you say puff pastry could you use the frozen croissant rolls pastry in the tube and leave it flat and cut it into 1 inch squares and bake it the same just watching it closely so it doesn’t over cook? Is that the same or if not do you think it would even work?
Hi Bob, I have never tried this recipe with croissant rolls but I think it would work okay. We love to use puff pastry, pie crust, or homemade biscuits.
This soup is so easy and so delicious. I will definitely be making it again
love this soup! I made this for our Souper Sunday at my church. I will definitely make it again only I will double the recipe. Thank you!
Can you use potatoes
Diced potatoes can be added along with the chicken just cut them ½-inch cubes.
How many ounces of chicken breasts? The size varies so much. Thank you.
An average chicken breast is about 6 ounces. So this recipe would use about 18 ounces of chicken breasts.
Came out excellent. Would make it again.
can this be cooked on the stove. I will try it in the crockpot but I really don’t like using my crockpot.
I have only made this recipe as written Audery, so I can’t say for sure. If you try it, I would love to hear how it turns out!
This looks great, I can’t wait to try it!
What kind of biscuits are pictured? I would like to make the same ones!
The pictures are using puff pastry, and the instructions are right in the recipe Sandy. Enjoy the soup!
I made this recipe this weekend! Very good! I baked an additional pie crust and crumbled it up in the soup! I also added mushrooms!
So glad you enjoyed it, Mandy!
Love this soup!!!
LOVE the east recipe Thank you
Want the video of the recipe
Hi Debasmita, we don’t have a video for this recipe at this time. But you can check out our other videos here.
The nutrition information doesn’t list a serving size. What is the serving size please? Made this for dinner. It was great. Will make again!
So glad you enjoyed the soup Lorie! A serving size is one cup.
This was so yummy! I used canned chicken and made mine in the instant pot on manual for 5 minutes. Did a quick release and added the milk/cornstarch mixture.then I cooked it on saute until thickened. Will definitely make this again. The whole family loved
Great idea Jess! We are glad your family loved it!
It’s ok, if you’re the kind of person that thinks mayonnaise is spicy. Waaaay too bland.
Why would you make a comment like that.
This recipe turned out great. I ended up being impatient when it came to letting it thicken after adding the half and half mixture and transferred it to a pot to bring to a low boil! Definitely one we will make again! SWP Employee
I’m so glad you loved it Sam!! ❤️
Great tip! Mine did not thicken in the slow cooker so I think I’ll just transfer it to the stove for the thickening part.
Do you have any good/tried suggestions for the replacement of the half and half in the chicken pot pie slow cooker soup (dairy allergy)?
I’m sorry I have only tried this recipe as written. You could try a non-dairy cream and see how it works. Just ensure it’s not a coffee creamer as they’re often sweetened.
How much for the carrots?
1 1/2 cups peas and carrots mixture is used in this recipe Karen. Enjoy!
