I’ve been craving lots of warm soups lately with the chilly weather we’ve been getting here.
Chicken pot pie is the ultimate comfort food and this creamy, chunky soup version is loaded with chicken, potatoes, peas, carrots and celery in every bite.
The great thing about soups is you can swap out the ingredients and vegetables to suit your taste.
Serve it along with your favorite biscuits or crackers.

Or if you already have an extra baked pie crust handy, you can certainly serve the soup inside as well.

This soup comes together fairly quickly if you are using leftover chicken or even turkey meat, especially if you have leftovers from Thanksgiving.

It’s been raining here for several days now and this chicken pot pie soup sounds excellent!!! I wish I have this for lunch already. I don’t have any soup in my house right now… I make a lot of soup in fall/winter too, as I can put meat and veggies in the same dish! And so warm and comforting… Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I love fall and winter for their flavors and holidays but not the weather – it’s been cold and dreary here lately too. We love hot soup to help keep us warm and I can hide more veggies in there for my husband hehe. Thanks for stopping by Nami and hope you have a great weekend 🙂
