Few comfort foods evoke the cozy flavor and nostalgia of chicken pot pie, but transforming it into a soul-warming soup lifts this classic to new heights of convenience.

Why You’ll Love This Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Combining tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and a creamy, savory broth, this soup hits all the right notes. It’s the perfect solution for when you crave the flavor of pot pie but lack time for rolling dough. This “deconstructed” version is both quick and crowd-pleasing—soothing, filling, and guaranteed to please even picky eaters.
Thickened just enough to mimic classic pot pie filling and loaded with vibrant veggies, it delivers both comfort and nutrition in every bowl.
Creamy Base and Flavorful Vegetable Mix
The foundation of this soup is built on a creamy, well-seasoned broth. For the best results, finely dice your carrots, celery, potatoes, and onions. A high-quality Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper effortlessly creates uniform pieces, ensuring even cooking and a professional presentation.
Frozen peas add a pop of color and sweetness, stirring in right before serving to preserve their vibrant green hue.
The Best Way to Cook and Shred Chicken
For ultimate convenience, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or poach chicken breasts in your soup base. Once cooked, let them cool briefly and use a Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen to make quick work of perfectly shredded pieces that blend seamlessly into the soup.
This step saves time while producing a tender, chunky texture that soaks up the broth’s flavors.
Assembling and Finishing the Soup
Once your vegetables are tender and chicken is shredded, bring them together in a rich dairy base. A reliable SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch makes it easy to sauté aromatics and develop the base flavors without any sticking, while heavy cream and a pat of butter add luxurious richness.
Top each bowl with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of black pepper, or—if you’re feeling extra fancy—a handful of crisp baked pie crust squares or oyster crackers.
