How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Everything in the slow cooker
Place everything for your chicken pot pie soup into the slow cooker. Mix well and make sure chicken is submerged in liquid.
Cook on low or high: Cover your slow cooker and cook on high for 2-4 hours OR on low for 6-8 hours.
Prepare the creamy roux
With 1 hour remaining in your cook time, start making your roux.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium/high heat. Lower heat to medium heat and add flour to butter, and mix with a whisk until mixture turns into a crumble.
Add roux to slow cooker
Add roux to the slow cooker and whisk soup until butter and flour mixture dissolves.
Finish cooking
Place cover on the slow cooker, turn to high if it’s not already on high, and let cook for an additional 1 hour to allow broth to thicken.
Dice cooked chicken & enjoy!
Once chicken is fully cooked, remove from slow cooker and cut into bite-sized chunks. Add chicken back to the slow cooker and mix. Finally, add heavy cream to soup, mix, and serve!

Shred or dice the chicken: we love dicing the chicken for this soup, but feel free to shred yours if you prefer.
Choose any frozen veggies: the frozen veggie mix that we used included green beans, peas, carrots and corn, but feel free to use 20 oz. of any frozen veggies you’d like.
Storage
Store your chicken pot pie soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. We love storing ours right in the slow cooker if you have enough leftovers 😀
To reheat: place soup in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 60-90 seconds.
Freezer Directions
Can you freeze chicken pot pie soup? YES! We have one tip for you before we share how to freeze it. DON’T ADD THE HEAVY CREAM until you serve it. Why? If you freeze heavy cream, you risk curdling dairy when you reheat.

Got this in the slow cooker now! can’t wait to try it. Any tips on a good biscuit recipe to go along with this?
I made this tonight (Guy here) and I found: 1. Needs a tad bit of salt (And I typically NEVER use salt) – and DOUBLE the chicken as it was a little sparse.
Outside of that this is great
I also had a Cheat idea about how to go full on with pot pie without the work.
Perhaps use biscuits from a can – flatten the dough for a bowl (oven safe bowl) and seal with another bowl – dip the chicken pot pie soup into it (prior to baking) and seal (maybe fork the top or otherwise vent the dough – bake until golden brown (VOILA!)
I ‘think’ that would work. I will have to try that
Hello! Thanks so much for leaving your feedback. Totally get you on the chicken part, next time you can up it to a pound and a half!
So easy, especially using the frozen mixes veggies. Thanks for another yummy dinner/lunch option!
any idea how this would taste without the heavy cream? Or would a non-dairy creamer work? Lactose intolerant…but I love chicken pot pie
You can try non-dairy creamer! It is kind of essential for chicken pot pie soup though, I’m not going to lie 😀
Making this tomorrow! Can I use frozen chicken?
Hello! You’ll need to thaw your chicken before placing into the Instant Pot to avoid food bourne illness.
Looking forward to trying this! Can we talk about that perfect-looking biscuit though?
RIGHT!?! lol
This is everything. Can’t wait to make it!! Xoxo
I can’t wait for you to try it!!
Yum! I’ve been wanting to make a vegetarian pot pie recipe. Might try this one with a few substitutions!
