Description
This Chicken Pot Pie Soup transforms traditional pot pie into a comforting, creamy soup that’s quick and easy to make, full of tender chicken, hearty vegetables, and rich flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 3 cups rotisserie chicken, diced
- 1 cup green beans, cut
- 1/2 cup carrots, sliced
- 1/3 cup green peas (optional but highly recommended)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1/4–1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (for thickening)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, and diced celery. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften and the onions become translucent.
- If using uncooked chicken thighs, add them now and cook until no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the green beans, carrots, and peas (if using) and stir to combine with other ingredients.
- Add the diced rotisserie chicken if using pre-cooked chicken.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add the salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
- Sprinkle the xanthan gum over the soup while whisking constantly to prevent clumping. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the soup thickens slightly.
- Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Notes
- If you don’t have rotisserie chicken, uncooked diced chicken thighs work wonderfully. Just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
- Feel free to use frozen vegetables when fresh options aren’t available.
- Substitute coconut cream for heavy cream for a dairy-free option.
- Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a healthier version.
- If you don’t have xanthan gum, use 2 tablespoons of flour mixed with 1/4 cup cold water as a slurry for thickening.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
