Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 cup frozen corn (optional)
• 3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cubed)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream (or milk for lighter version)
• 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• Fresh parsley for garnish
• Optional: baked puff pastry squares or biscuits for topping

Instructions

1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, melt the butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5–6 minutes until softened and fragrant.
2. Add garlic and flour: Stir in garlic, then sprinkle the flour over the veggies. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste — this forms the base of your creamy soup.
3. Pour in broth: Slowly whisk in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Add potatoes and spices: Toss in potatoes, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer until potatoes are tender — about 10–12 minutes.
5. Add chicken and peas: Stir in shredded chicken and peas (and corn if you’re using it). Continue simmering for 5 minutes to let everything mingle.
6. Finish with cream: Pour in heavy cream, stir well, and cook for another 3–5 minutes until the soup thickens and turns silky smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
7. Serve and top: Ladle your Classic Chicken Pot Pie Soup into bowls, top with a flaky biscuit or puff pastry square, and sprinkle with parsley. Boom — cozy comfort achieved!

Variations

You can totally customize this Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Soup depending on your vibe:

• Chicken Pot Pie Soup with Biscuits: Bake some buttery biscuits separately and place one right on top of your bowl for that classic Southern touch.
• Healthy Chicken Pot Pie Soup: Skip the cream and use low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk. You’ll still get a creamy texture without the guilt.
• Slow Cooker or Instant Pot Version: Toss all ingredients (except the cream) into your cooker and let it do the magic. Stir in cream at the end for that smooth finish.
