Easy Chicken Pot Pie Soup
THIS SOUP! I have a couple top soups on the site but I try to not play favorites. Okay fine, I’ll tell you. Mom’s Creamy Chicken Soup has always been my number one and so far I haven’t found any soup to top it. It’s SO delicious, but not exactly the healthiest. But this new Chicken Pot Pie Soup is coming in at an incredibly close second.
It has the same flavor profile that I love about the Creamy Chicken Soup but with more vegetables and less cream! It’s just as hearty with chicken, veggies, and more, and just feels so comforting. The cute addition of the pot pie crust crackers is completing me, making this such a fun and unique soup to make for your family. You’re gonna love this soup!
Make this hearty Chicken Pot Pie Soup with Pie Crust Crackers for a warming winter meal!
How to Make Pot Pie Crust Crackers
To make the pie crust crackers (SO CUTE!!!) we used store bought pie crust, a circular cookie cutter (found HERE), and the spiky end of a meat tenderizer (the one we used can be found HERE). So simple to create the illusion of a cracker. They tasted AMAZING in the chicken pot pie soup, just like the flakey crust you would typically find on a chicken pot pie. The pie crust crackers add just a little bit of charm to this delicious lunch or dinner recipe.
The pie crust crackers are sure to impress your guests if making for a crowd. The little bit of extra work goes a long way!
If you’re a soup lover, and a comfort food lover, than you MUST try this Chicken Pot Pie Soup. Creamy Chicken Soup may still be my #1, but this is right on up there. I’m in LOVE. I hope you and your family love it as much as we do.

Hey! i really want to try this recipe, but i am under the legal DRINKING age and therefore cannot purchase wine. is there a good substitute anyone can RECOMMEND?
Hey Sophia! Totally understand. Usually in the baking or condiment section there are cooking wines that you can purchase. You can use a baking white wine and that would work perfectly! Here is an example. Hope you love the recipe!
