I always enjoy a nice chicken soup and these days I have been into this chicken pot pie soup! This soup is inspired by chicken pot pie which is basically a creamy chicken stew in a pie with a golden brown crispy and flaky pastry crust. This is a pretty hearty soup with plenty of veggies including onions, carrots, celery, potatoes, corn and peas in addition to the chicken. The broth of this soup is made chicken broth along with cream to make it creamy and butter and flour is used as the thickener. The seasoning includes a mixture of sage, rosemary, thyme and garlic in addition to salt and pepper. I really enjoy this soup just like this but it’s missing that pie crust element and to keep things simple I like to serve it topped with fresh made biscuits! Over all this is a pretty simple soup that’s easy to make, super tasty and pure comfort in a bowl!

great mix of dishes, love all of these ingredients, and flavors and even better in my opinion as a soup than in pie, so thank you!
Hi Kevin, do you think I could do this with corn starch for a gluten free friend? Would I use equal amounts for the substitution? TIA
Yes you can! Mix 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch into 1/4 cool water, mix it into the soup near the end and simmer until it thickens. Enjoy!
Love this recipe!
So simple and gluten free!
Used Bob’s Red Mill 1 for 1 Flour!
Used frozen corn, peas, and Lima beans!
Perfectly creamy and those that can eat gluten pair with a puff pastry stick!
This is an amazing soup, a complete meal and wonderful flavor, I will make again soon, everyone loved it
Hi Kevin,
This soup is amazing! However, it was thinner than I thought and never really thickens up. Any tips?
The thickener in this recipe is the flour that is cooked into the butter and veggies. If you want it thicker, you can add a more flour, say 6 tablespoons. If you are near the end of the recipe and you would like it thicker than it is, you can add corn starch mixed into cool water, 1 tablespoon to 1 tablespoon at a time until you get to the desired thickness. Enjoy!
