This chicken pot pie soup is one of those recipes you can throw together in just about 30 minutes. Everything cooks in one pot, including the chicken, making it an easy weeknight dinner to meal prep, make for your family or simply slurp up the entire pot yourself. It’s made with plenty of veggies and no cream, making it perfect for just about anyone to enjoy — especially when you come down with a cold, or if you’re just craving a cozy bowl of soup. Here are the ingredients you’ll need:
- Chicken: you’ll need about a pound and a half of boneless skinless chicken breast, plus some olive oil to cook it with.
- Veggies: this chicken pot pie soup is loaded with carrots, cauliflower, onion & peas.
- Potatoes: the secret ingredient for making this soup creamy and hearty! I love using yukon gold potatoes for a buttery, creamy texture.
- Herbs & spices: you’ll need some dried or fresh thyme and plenty of salt and pepper to give the soup flavor.
- Milk: feel free to use any milk you’d like. I prefer unsweetened almond milk or cashew milk to keep the soup dairy free, but you can use dairy milk if you prefer! Feel free to use whole milk for a richer soup.
- Broth: you’ll also need some low sodium chicken broth to cook everything together.
The key to super creamy chicken pot pie soup
As I mentioned, this healthy chicken pot pie soup is hearty and creamy, yet there’s no dairy or cream involved! The secret is to add both cauliflower and potatoes to the soup, and then to blend some of it up to create a lovely, thicker broth. Ever since I made my creamy lightened up cauliflower broccoli cheddar soup, I became been obsessed with pureeing cauliflower in soups to create a creamy base that adds additional veggies.
Can I make it vegetarian?
Yes, simply use chickpeas instead of chicken, and be sure to use a dairy free milk and vegetarian broth. This will make the soup both vegetarian and vegan.
Add some extra veggies
If you’d like some more veggies in this soup, I suggest adding 8 ounces of baby bella mushrooms, which you can saute with the onion, carrots and potatoes. Fresh or frozen sweet corn is also another great option that can be stirred in with the peas. Yum.
Can I make it in my slow cooker?
Yes! This healthy chicken pot pie soup can be made in a slow cooker or crockpot with a few adjustments:
