We always seem to be so busy during the cooler months, and this chicken pot pie soup is a go-to meal for me when I want to prepare dinner in advance to be ready for our family to enjoy!
This recipe only takes 10 minutes of hands-on preparation – then it cooks in the slow cooker. The soup base is made from scratch – so there are no “cream of” soups from a can in this recipe.
This slow cooker chicken pot pie soup has all the delicious flavors of chicken pot pie but in soup form! It’s hearty, creamy and so delicious it’s beloved by kids and adults alike.
Serve it with some homemade pretzel bread, delicious homemade dinner rolls, or homemade biscuits and you have a perfect weeknight meal!
Chicken Pot Pie Soup: Substitutions
- Chicken Bullion: Better Than Bullion paste imparts the best flavor. If you need to sub powdered or cubed bullion you can. Or substitute 2 ยฝ cups chicken broth for the boullion and water.
- 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: Yukon gold and russet potatoes also work well.
- Whole Milk. 2% milk and half and half are both good substitutes.
- Flour. Use an all-purpose gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup
Let’s walk through how to make how to make chicken pot pie soup in the slow cooker. As always, be sure to watch the video for additional guidance.
Begin by lightly greaseing the container of a slow cooker.
Then, whisk the milk, flour, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt and pepper together in a medium bowl and set the mixture aside.
Next, bring the water to a boil in a 3 or 4 quart sauce pan. Once it’s boiling, add the chicken bouillon and whisk until dissolved.
When the bouillon is dissolved, whisk in the milk/flour mixture.
Then, cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking often, until thick (about 3 minutes). Once the sauce has thickened (it will lightly coat the back of a spoon or spatula), remove it from the heat.
Next, add the diced chicken breasts, cubed potatoes and frozen veggies to the greased slow cooker.
Then pour the soup mixture into crock pot and stir to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for 6 hours, stirring occasionally. Until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are soft.
In the last 30 minutes of cooking, move the lid so it is slightly ajar to release liquid and allow the sauce to thicken.
Once it has finished cooking, taste and adjust the seasonings to your liking if necessary. Then serve.
Serve
Serve this chicken pot pie soup warm, garnished with some freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley (if desired).
We love serving it with fresh bread like no knead bread, pretzel bread or french bread, or cheesy biscuits!
Store
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
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 reheat it over low heat, stirring often.

Did you use 1 or 2 lb bag of the veggies? Thanks!
Do you cook the chicken before putting it in the crockpot?
Nope! Just toss everything in the crock pot!
Just made this for my family this week and everyone loved it!! We added some puff pastry cut in the shape of hearts and stars on top and my kids are already asking when we’re going to have it again!
This is so amazing!! Iโve been looking for a crock pot soup that is thick and has healthier ingredients and this IS it! I am wondering…have you tried freezing this? I thought maybe it wouldnโt do well freezing but chicken pot pies are freezer friendly. What are your thoughts?
This recipe was a life saver for dinner here in Texas tonight . Huge hit with my family ( even the kids ) . Perfect comfort meal for a crazy day and a chilly night . We added a pan of homemade biscuits to eat along side of it ( yummy ) .Thanks for sharing your amazing recipes with the word .
Do you think I could use another milk? Iโm dairy free
Hello,
Iโm in Australia and canโt get Better Than Bullion paste, so if I were to use cubes or chicken broth, how much would I use? (Canโt wait to make this!!)
Thanks, Julie
Hey Julie! It’s one of our favorite fall meals, and so easy to make! ๐ You need a total of 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth (which is the boiling water + chicken bouillon paste). If using broth from a carton, use 2 1/2 cups! If using cubes follow the instructions to make 2 1/2 cups of broth! I do like a little extra flavor sometimes and will add an extra cube if I taste the soup and it’s not robust enough for my liking!
Thanks Laura! This is going to be dinner tonight๐
Any ideas on making this dairy free?
Hmmmm…I don’t think this one would do very well with dairy-free substitutions. Unless you found a dairy-free milk that was still just regular milk (e.g. not almond or coconut, etc). I’m afraid any of the non dairy milk varieties I use and am familiar with would impart a strange taste!
If making in the slow cooker, does the chicken need to be cooked first? Or did you throw it in raw? Iโm making this today. Wish me luck!
Hey Lauren! That’s the beauty of this recipe! Just toss the cubed chicken in raw and let it cook away! ๐
Awesome! I thought so, just wanted to make sure. Thank you SO much!
Oh my! How did I miss this last week. Looks amazing – so comforting and in a crock pot no less.
Yes! Crockpot for the win!
