How to make Creamy Chicken Pot Pie Soup

There are a few steps to making this delicious soup recipe. We’ll try to break things down a bit- it really isn’t hard at all! Here’s what you need to do:
  1. Saute some onions and garlic in the bottom of a dutch oven before adding your potatoes, stock, and seasonings.
  2. Thicken your soup with some bechamel before slowly adding some half & half.
  3. Add your frozen vegetables and cooked chicken before letting cook over low heat until heated through.

Diced onions for soup

After giving your onions a fine chop, toss them into the bottom of a dutch oven. Let those saute over medium-high heat for a couple of minutes until softened.

Cooking onions in pot

Add in your minced garlic and let cook for another minute until fragrant.

Garlic added to nions

Now we’re going to add our stock and use something like a wooden spatula to work up any brown bits off the bottom of the pot.

Adding broth to onions and garlic

Let’s add some seasonings while we’re here. First, a bit of thyme…

…And some poultry seasoning.

Let that stock come up to a boil before adding some chopped potatoes and bringing them to a simmer. Keep those at a simmer while we work on making a quick bechamel.

How to make Bechamel

Bechamel is typically a thick sauce that you use to make creamy soups or sauces- you might add some cheese to make a cheese sauce for mac and cheese. We’re going to make a thicker bechamel than you’d usually use. First, we have to make a roux: melt some butter in the bottom of a separate pot until it’s nice and bubbly before adding an equal amount of flour.

Bechamel in pan

Let that roux cook for a couple of minutes before slowly adding in your milk. For best results, make sure your milk is at room temperature when you add it. Whisk or stir constantly until you get a consistent mixture.

Once that bechamel has all come together, we can add it to our soup over in the dutch oven. Add it in and start stirring it until it’s fully mixed in.

Lastly, just to make this soup extra creamy, we’re going to add in that half & half. Do this slowly, mixing constantly until your soup is consistent and creamy.

Adding half and half to soup

Now we can add all those delicious veggies and chicken! Again, we used some frozen corn, green beans, carrots, and peas. Feel free to add your own preferred veggies here.

Frozen vegetables added to soup

Of course, this wouldn’t be a recipe for Chicken Pot Pie Soup without chicken! Add it in after your veggies and give everything a quick mix. All that’s left is to let your soup cook.

Adding chicken to creamy soup

Set the heat to low and let your soup cook for about 10-15 minutes. No need to cover the pot while the soup is cooking. Once those 15 minutes are through and the chicken and veggies are heated through, serve up your soup and enjoy!

Finished Chicken Pot Pie Soup

What to serve with Chicken Pot Pie Soup?

This creamy chicken soup will pair up with a wide range of side dishes. We’d recommend serving it up with a side salad, some biscuits or breadsticks, or maybe spooning it over a bed of rice.

How to store soup

  • In the Fridge – Store your leftover soup in an airtight container or ziploc bag. Kept well, it will stay good for about 3-4 days in the fridge. You can, optionally, omit the potatoes from the recipe and cook them up fresh when you reheat your soup. This way, you can avoid the mushy potatoes you usually get in the leftover soup.
  • In the Freezer – Since there are potatoes and dairy in this soup, it won’t taste as good after it’s been frozen. If you still want to freeze your leftovers, store in an airtight container or plastic bag and squeeze out any air. Seal and lay flat in the freezer until it’s frozen. Kept this way, it should be good for about a month. When it comes time to reheat it, do so on the stovetop over medium-to-low heat. Heat until fully melted and heated through.
