This chicken pot pie soup tastes virtually the exact same as a yummy chicken pot pie, except there’s no crust. However, it does have biscuits on top that are shaped like hearts.

And if you’re one of those people who find it difficult to eat the right amount of vegetables – whether it’s because you loathe them or you forget – this homemade recipe is also perfect for you with the chicken and vegetables giving you essential protein, minerals, and vitamins. You will LOVE this chicken pot pie soup.
Calling all Comfort Food Lovers
I always wondered whether a pie could be transformed into a soup, and my dreams came true after I tested my theory. There’s something about the flavors, warmth, and feeling of enjoying a soup that has me feeling all giddy and excited.
I mean, we all know that we eat a whole lot more in winter, and food definitely seems more appealing. So just the thought of creating this has me drooling!
This chicken pot pie soup is quite mild in flavour, but heavenly in texture and rich with experience. If this one doesn’t become a part of my “grandma recipe cards” when I’m older, I don’t know what will.
Easy to Make Comfort Food Soup Recipe
Trust me when I say that this recipe is a breeze to make, and many of the ingredients can be substituted for others, so you can make the most use out of your current pantry stock.
It’s simple, quick, has fewer calories than a traditional pot pie (but retains all of the yummy benefits), and it is the best version of comfort food that I can think of. Just thinking about it has me pondering what Netflix movie I want to watch, curled up on the sofa with a blanket and the soup to warm my cold hands.
Seriously, though, what is better than soup when you’re freezing cold?
So, If I’ve finally convinced you that this is a worthwhile winter dish that will have you craving it each time you feel the slightest bit of cold, here’s the recipe and instructions to get started:
This Soup will be an Instant Family Favourite
This recipe can use rotisserie chicken or chicken breasts, making it perfect for leftover chicken. Really, any cooked chicken will do in this ultimate comfort food. It is the perfect comfort food for the winter months.
If you’re a bit devastated about the “no-crust” part of this recipe, don’t worry. There are biscuits on top of this soup and you can cut them in any shape you like. I used hearts for these. These biscuits are made from canned buttermilk biscuits but you can do homemade biscuits or even cut up a sheet of puff pastry.
If you don’t want the biscuits you can omit them. If you are looking for something simpler, you can use some crackers, pastry crust strips, or even some bread to enjoy it the same way you would with a pot pie. I love dunking them in, soaking them up, and plopping them into my mouth to relish in the crust goodness.
Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Soup
This comforting soup is sure to become an instant family favourite. This is a great recipe for anyone that loves creamy soups with tender chicken. It can be made in a dutch oven or you could even try it in your crockpot or slow cooker. In my opinion, this delicious soup is pure comfort food that the whole family will love! It is just like classic pot pie in soup form and it will make a great choice for dinner tonight.
Any soup leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and reheated or even frozen with success. Who knew that chicken stock or chicken broth could be the base for such a tasty soup recipe. Heavy cream can be substituted for a non dairy option if desired. You can also try adding in other veggies like green beans.
