• 2 celery stalks diced
• 1 small onion diced
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme

• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces cream cheese softened
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• Puff pastry squares or biscuits for serving

Method

 

1. Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot.
2. Add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, chicken broth, thyme, parsley, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
3. Cover and cook on Low for 6 to 7 hours or High for 3½ to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
4. Remove the chicken and shred it using two forks.
5. Return the shredded chicken to the crockpot.
6. Stir in the frozen peas, softened cream cheese, and heavy cream.
7. Whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until smooth, then stir it into the soup.
8. Cover and cook for another 20 to 30 minutes until the soup thickens.
9. Serve topped with baked puff pastry squares or warm biscuits and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

• Yukon Gold potatoes stay tender without falling apart.
• Add the peas near the end to keep them bright and fresh.
• Softened cream cheese blends into the broth more easily.
• Bake the puff pastry separately for the crispiest topping.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.

Variations

• Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
• Add mushrooms for extra flavor.
• Replace heavy cream with half-and-half.
• Stir in frozen corn with the peas.
• Top with cheddar biscuits instead of puff pastry.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve with flaky puff pastry squares.
• Pair with warm buttermilk biscuits.
• Enjoy with a crisp green salad.
• Sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Tips

• Shred the chicken while it’s still warm.
• Don’t boil the soup after adding the dairy.
• Mash a few potatoes for a thicker consistency.
• Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
• Reheat gently over low heat, adding a splash of broth if needed.

FAQs

Can I use cooked chicken instead of raw chicken?

• Yes. Stir cooked shredded chicken into the soup during the last 30 minutes of cooking so it heats through without becoming dry.

Can I freeze Chicken Pot Pie Soup?

• Yes, but for the best texture, freeze the soup before adding the cream, cream cheese, and cornstarch slurry. Add those ingredients after reheating.

Can I use canned biscuits instead of puff pastry?

• Absolutely. Freshly baked biscuits are a classic topping and pair perfectly with the creamy soup.

What potatoes work best?

• Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal because they become creamy while holding their shape. Red potatoes are another good option.

How do I make the soup thicker?

• Mash some of the cooked potatoes into the broth or add a little extra cornstarch slurry during the final cooking time.

Can I add more vegetables?

• Yes. Corn, green beans, mushrooms, or diced parsnips all work well and make the soup even heartier.
