How to Make Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup
✱ Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact ingredients and full recipe instructions!
Step 1 | Chop & Saute the veggies
Get ready to make the soup by washing and chopping all the fresh veggies and herbs.
First, add the carrots, celery, onion, unsalted butter, and minced garlic to a large pot over medium heat. Cook the ingredients for three to five minutes or until the onions are translucent, stirring occasionally.
Step 2 | Cook flour, stock, and herbs
Next, add the flour to the pot and stir until it is cooked about two or three minutes.
Mix in the chicken stock, Better Than Bouillon, pepper, thyme, salt, and bay leaves. Then, turn up the heat to medium-high and bring the ingredients to a boil.
Step 3 | Add potatoes
Now, add the potatoes and set the heat to medium-low. Bring to a slight simmer for about 14 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
Step 4 | Bake biscuits
As the potatoes cook, bake the biscuits by following the instructions on the packaging. Then, remove the golden brown biscuits from the oven and transfer them to a serving tray.
Step 5 | Add chicken and remaining ingredients
Next, remove the bay leaves from the soup and add the cooked chicken, corn, peas, heavy cream, and parsley, sitting until well combined. Taste the soup and add more salt and pepper if desired.
Step 6 | Simmer and serve with biscuits!
Simmer the soup and mix for about five minutes until all ingredients are heated. Then, serve with the freshly made biscuits and enjoy!
Tips
- Salt Content– If you use regular broth or stock instead of low-sodium, omit the added salt (or to taste based on your typically use), then taste the recipe when it’s completed.
- Double the Recipe– If you’re serving a crowd, this recipe easily doubles and can be kept in a crockpot to stay warm.
- Cooked Chicken– Remember not to use raw chicken. Be sure it is cooked before adding. If you want to use raw chicken, add the chicken to the broth and simmer until fork tender for shredding. Then add potatoes and proceed with recipe. The cook time will vary based on size and cut of chicken. You may also want to increase the broth a bit.
How to Make Gluten-Free Chicken Pot Pie Soup
There are a few things to adjust to make this recipe gluten-free enough for a Celiac to eat. But it is not impossible!
Make this recipe gluten-free by replacing the flour with cornstarch and water to thicken the soup. Ensure the stock or broth is gluten-free, and skip the Better than Boullion. Then, serve with gluten-free biscuits, and you have a gluten-free soup recipe.
Recipe FAQs
If the soup is not as thick as you’d like it to be, add a cornstarch slurry or more flour while stirring the ingredients over low heat.
This is a great recipe to make ahead! Make the recipe as directed, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Serve the dish in the next couple of days by reheating it in a pot or a slow cooker.
There is no difference! They are both names for the same recipe.
Storage
Storage: Cover the pot with foil or plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3 days.
Freeze: I do not typically like to freeze cream-based soups as the cream seems to separate when thawing. This one is best served fresh.
