I love soup! It’s so easy to make and is even easier to heat up and enjoy as leftovers. Soup is a great way to warm up when it’s chilly outside and get in more veggies. My fall favorites are Instant Pot Beef & Barley Soup, Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup, Ham and Potato Soup and of course this Chicken Pot Pie Soup.

How to Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup:
This soup is made similar to how you make chicken pot pie.
- Cook the chicken and vegetables until softened.

- Add milk & cream. (Chicken pot pie does have some liquid in the filling but the soup has more milk and also some cream to make it thicker and creamier). Simmer until thickened.
- Add in the chicken and frozen peas and cook just until everything is heated through and the soup is thick and creamy.
What to serve with the soup?
Like with any soup, a great addition to soup is crackers, homemade bread, rolls, or some puff pastries.
This is the perfect addition to this Chicken Pot Pie Soup because it’s a delicious flaky pastry, similar to what is used in a traditional Chicken pot Pie.
