Chicken Pot Pie Soup (Creamy, Easy & Healthy)
This creamy chicken pot pie soup is loaded with tender vegetables, diced chicken breast, and a silky milk-based broth that tastes like classic pot pie without the heavy crust. It comes together in about 35minutes and is surprisingly light. Keep reading for the full recipe and all my best tips.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups water divided
- 4 cups skim milk
- 1 stalk celery chopped
- ½ large yellow onion chopped
- 2 cans mushroom pieces and stems drained
- 2½ cups frozen mixed vegetables corn, peas, carrots, green beans
- 2 medium russet potatoes peeled and cubed into ½-inch pieces
- 2 cubes chicken bouillon
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dill weed
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast diced into ½-inch pieces
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine ½ cup (120ml) of cold water with the flour. Whisk vigorously until completely smooth with no lumps. Set the slurry aside.
- Pour the remaining 1½ cups (360ml) of water and 4 cups (960ml) of skim milk into a large pot. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, and slowly bring to a gentle boil. Do not heat too quickly or the milk may curdle.
- Add the celery, onion, drained mushrooms, frozen mixed vegetables, cubed potatoes, chicken bouillon cubes, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and dill weed. Stir to combine and return to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, partially cover with a lid, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are fork-tender.
- Remove the lid and stir in the cooked diced chicken. Let it heat through for 1–2 minutes.
- Give the flour slurry a quick stir (it may have settled), then slowly pour it into the soup while whisking constantly. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 3–5 minutes until the soup noticeably thickens to a creamy, chowder-like consistency. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and garlic powder as needed.
