This lightened-up Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup only takes 10 minutes to prepare! This recipe is made from scratch (no canned soups), cozy and delicious

There's something about winter that makes me want to stay in, wear my slippers, and alternate between eating soup, like this Chicken pot pie soup, potato soup, chicken and rice soup, vegetable soup and this kale sausage soup, and drinking hot chocolate all day long.
This Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup is one of my family's favorite meals! It's one of my favorites too because it literally takes a total of 10 minutes of prep work to make.
There are so many things to love about this lightened-up Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup! It is easy, is made from scratch and it's easily made gluten-free.
Serve it with some homemade pretzel bread, delicious homemade dinner rolls, or homemade biscuits and you have a perfect weeknight meal!

How to make Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup
1. Make the creamy homemade soup base (NO Canned soups)!
Start by making the creamy chicken soup base from scratch, which is SUPER easy! Just be sure to whisk everything together until it's smooth!
2. Put it in your slow cooker!
Then toss all the ingredients into the slow cooker, mix in the soup and cook on high for 6 hours! That's all folks. I'm serious when I say a recipe couldn't be more simple to toss together!
3. Remove the lid to thicken.
In the last hour of cooking, if you want your soup to thicken a bit, simply rotate the lid so there are some "gaps" where the steam can escape and stir occasionally. Once the Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup has reached your desired thickness, place the lid back on or serve!

Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
To freeze
Let the chicken pot pie soup cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a freezer-friendly, airtight container and freeze for up to 2 months.
Reheat
Remove frozen soup from the freezer and let thaw in the fridge overnight, or on the counter (faster). You can also let it thaw slightly then transfer the mostly-frozen soup to a pot and thaw it over low heat, stirring often.

Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup: Substitutions
As always I recommend making the recipe exactly as written! But here are a few possible substitutions!
- Flour: You can use an all-purpose gluten-free flour or regular all-purpose flour.
- Chicken Bullion: Better Than Bullion paste imparts the best flavor. If you need to sub powdered or cubed bullion you can. You may also just use chicken broth!
- Frozen Veggies: One of the things I love about this recipe is the minimal prep required. Tossing a bag of frozen mixed vegetables into the pot is so easy, but if you'd prefer to use fresh you can.
- Red Potatoes: Feel free to use your favorite potato here! I have used baby red and Yukon gold with great results.
- Milk: I highly recommend using 2% milk, however you may use a combination of 2%, whole, or half and half! I do not recommend 1% or Skim.

Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Ingredients
- 2 LBS boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 2 cups red potatoes cubed
- 1 bag frozen vegetables
From Scratch Cream of Chicken Soup
- 2½ cups boiling water
- 3 TBS chicken bouillon paste
- 1 ½ cups 2% milk
- ¾ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour or regular all purpose flour
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp sea salt or to taste
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Grease the container of your large slow cooker. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together flour, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt and pepper.
- Add milk and whisk until combined, set aside.
- In a 4-quart pan over medium heat, boil water.
- Add chicken bouillon and whisk until dissolved.
- Add milk/dry ingredient mixture to boiling water/bouillon.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring every 30 seconds or so, until thick (about 3 minutes).
- Once the sauce is thick, remove from heat.
- Add diced chicken breasts, cubed potatoes and frozen veggies to the pot of your slow cooker.
- Pour soup mixture into crock pot and stir to combine.
- Cook on high for 6 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Towards the end of cooking, if you notice your mixture isn’t thickening, turn the lid so there’s a little crack where steam can escape. Letting the moisture out as it finishes cooking will thicken it up!
- Serve warm!

Looks like a delicious comforting meal. We're suppose to get a huge snowstorm so I was all prepared to make some comfort food but looks like it's down graded not that it means I can't still make it.
Jenn
Oh man, I need a big bowl of this comfort food right now! It's been a frustrating week over here and I just want to curl up on my couch under a blanket with this yumminess! Bonus that the slow cooker does all the work for me!
Laura
I'm TOTALLY with you Jen! Bring on all the comfort food (which in my case, is brownies lol)! With the snow falling outside this is the perfect meal for today!

Now this is nourishment! I've been looking for more crockpot recipes and this looks so easy to adapt for two and for dairy-free!
Laura
I was going to ask you on Facebook...how would you adapt it to be dairy-free?

I LOVE chicken pot pie; I hope we get more winter too, because Colorado desperately needs moisture. It amazes me and reminds me just how we depend on God and His mercy.
This soup sounds like the essence of comfort food; so so yummy.
Laura
We love chicken pot pie around here too! 🙂
Vanessa
This looks so good! Can you make this in a pot if you don't have a slow cooker?
Thank you!

Hey Vesna! I have totally made it in a pot! Here's how: fully cook chicken (I boil mine in broth and then shred it but you can sauté it or just use a rotisserie chicken), set aside. Cut up potatoes and microwave for 6-10 minutes (until soft). Make the creamy soup base according to the instructions (in a large pot), add chicken, veggies and potatoes. Mix and cook on low until everything is cooked according to your liking! Make sure you stir it every now and then! Sometimes I omit the potatoes if I'm cooking on the stovetop to save time! 😉
