Chicken Pot Pie Soup
With the school year in full swing, we’re always looking for easy, peasy meals that are ready for dinner when we are. That’s when I dust off the trusty CrockPot to get a jump on things early in the day so we have a hot home cooked meal when we’re ready to wind down.
This Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe is one of my absolute favorite dinners because it’s pretty much ready when I walk in the door. I featured it first over on Spend with Pennies during the summer months.
It’s inspired by my favorite Chicken Pot Pie recipe but made easier because it takes about 10 minutes of hands on time.
Slow cooker, Crock Pot, Instant Pot….whatever you’ve got, this easy Pot Pie Soup is one of the greatest recipes to come out of it. My kids absolutely love it and it’s been on constant repeat for years. A definite tried and true recipe you’ll add to your weekly meal plan.
What is Chicken Pot Pie Soup?
Chicken Pot Pie is one of the ultimate comfort foods. Tender, melt in your mouth chicken is simmered in a creamy sauce swimming in vegetables. Baked into a flakey pie crust, this is just happiness bite after bite.
Just like your favorite Chicken Pot Pie….but not actually baked into a pie, this crockpot Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe is an easier way to enjoy a classic without fussing with a pie crust. The boneless, skinless chicken breast and veggies are slow cooked in a crock pot until tender, then topped with a sprinkle of pie crust “crackers”.
How To Make Chicken Pot Pie Soup
- Chicken is slow cooked along with onions, garlic and chicken stock in your crock pot until fork tender before being shredded into bite sized pieces.
- Frozen peas and carrots are then stirred in with half and half to finish things off.
- While the soup is cooking, bake up your pie crust until crispy and golden.
- Just before serving, crumble the pie crust and sprinkle over top along with fresh herbs, if desired.
A lot of people make chicken pot pie with cream of chicken soup, but this from scratch chicken pot pie version is just as easy! I promise you that!
We love this programmable slow cooker with auto warm setting by CrockPot! It’s a great way to make dinners easy and keep them warm until you’re ready to eat. We pull this one out at least once a week and the price can’t be beat!

How To Make The Pie Crust
Making crust for Chicken Pot Pie or Chicken Pot Pie Soup is so super simple. I like to use THIS flakey pie crust recipe and omit the sugar but if you’re in a pinch you can totally just use your favorite refrigerated pie crust.
I make my pie crust in the food processor with just a few simple ingredients so you a totally pull it off just as quickly as you would if you ran to the store to buy a refrigerated crust.
And you can always make the pie crust dough in advance to make dinner come together even easier. Just add that step to your weekly meal prep.
Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Soup is one of my favorite cold weather dinners, but we also love it all year long because it’s so spectacularly easy to make! It’s also great to make a double or triple batch of healthy soup if your slow cooker can handle the load, to freeze for even FASTER weeknight dinners.
It’s, seriously, one of my favorite boneless chicken breast recipes ever.
How To Freeze Chicken Pot Pie Soup
When I freeze my Chicken Pot Pie Soup straight out of the crock pot, I like to portion it out in to individual servings. This way it’s easy to grab one from the freezer to heat up for a quick lunch or dinner on a busy weeknight.
Store it in an airtight container and freeze for up to 6 months.
And if you’re a meal prep pro like me, I like to bake the pie crust a few days ahead, crumble it up and store it in a zip top bag so it saves me an extra step right before meal time.
