How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes
Stir in mushrooms and garlic. Let them soften for 5 minutes
Sprinkle in flour and stir constantly until golden. Slowly pour in chicken stock and add sliced potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes
Stir in shredded chicken, peas, corn, heavy cream, and parsley. Simmer 5 minutes more until everything is creamy and heated through
Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with fresh parsley sprinkled on top

Tips for the Best Soup

Cut vegetables into even pieces so they cook at the same time
Add peas at the end to keep them bright and tender
If you like it thicker, stir in a little extra flour mixture or cornstarch slurry

Serving Suggestions

This soup loves company. Serve it with warm biscuits or a crusty loaf of bread to soak up the creamy broth. A fresh green salad on the side balances out the richness

Variations and Substitutions

Make it vegetarian by using mushrooms instead of chicken and vegetable stock instead of chicken broth
Make it dairy free with coconut milk or almond milk instead of cream
Make it gluten free by thickening with cornstarch instead of flour

Storing and Reheating

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove and add a splash of stock if it has thickened too much

FAQs

Can I use rotisserie chicken

Yes, just shred and add it once the vegetables are softened
