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!

Top Tips
Cook on low or high: one of the best things about this slow cooker chicken pot pie soup is you can cook it on low or high depending on your preference for cook time!
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.
So, to freeze your soup, just follow this simple tutorial on How to Freeze Soup.
- Refrain from adding heavy to your soup if you’re planning to freeze it for later. Cook the soup as directed.
- Let the soup cool and then transfer it into an airtight container or freezer-safe gallon-size bag.
- Remove as much air as possible and then seal.
- Freeze for up to 3 months.

Made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! Perfect, cozy, easy meal! We did about 5-6 cups of broth instead of 8 to make it a little heartier. This recipe is a keeper for sure.
Recipe was easy to follow. My only problem was my crock pot was a touch too small so I had to put in less chicken and veggies and take out some broth. I can’t wait to eat leftovers!
Glad you loved it!
Hi, can’t wait to make! Question: Can I dice the chicken at the beginning, rather than having to remove the chicken?
Hi! If you dice it at the beginning it will cook much faster and likely be overcooked. The other ingredients, specifically the potato, need that amount of time to cook!
What happens if you add the cream with the roux by accident?
Is there an IP or stove top recipe to make this!? 🙂
Our creamy chicken noodle soup with orzo is VERY similar! https://fitfoodiefinds.com/creamy-chicken-noodle-soup/
How would we convert this for an instant pot?
I did this in an instant pot on the slow cooker setting. It worked just fine.
I feel like the spices for me in this recipe need to be tweaked. It was just kind of meh for me.
Should I take the chicken breasts out before adding the clumpy roux to the liquid/ gravy in the crockpot? Thanks so much! – Heather
Leave the chicken in to cook for another hour!
This looks delicious and I plan on making it soon. Do we know if it freezes well so I can make a bunch and freeze it?
Super yummy. Followed the recipe except reduced broth by 1 cup (could have maybe reduced by 2) and cooked everything at high pressure in the instant pot for 20 minutes then 1 hour on the slow cooker function after the roux was added. Thickened nicely.
hey Brad here. second comment. I did it alteration to your recipe that works wonderful for anybody else that wants to try it basically do the exact same recipe leave out the heavy cream at the end change chicken breast to chicken thighs against skinless boneless double the amount of chicken and then when you mix in the flour butter crumble also throw in uncooked egg noodles either homemade or big fat homemade style egg noodles and let them cook in that for the last hour and now you have a wonderful chicken noodle soup that is awesome just did this today and it is perfect
