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, and the spiky end of a meat tenderizer. 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.

Instructions
For the Pie Crust Crackers:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.

For the Pot Pie Soup:
- Heat butter and oil, in a Dutch oven, over MEDIUM-HIGH heat until it shimmers but before the butter browns.
- Add diced carrots and celery and cook for 3 minutes.
- Add minced onions and cook until onion is translucent.
- Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Stir in chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze the pan.
- Stir in the white wine, peas and hash browns and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to MEDIUM and cook the soup 10 minutes.
- Reduce heat to LOW and add chicken and cream. Stir.
- Season with salt, and add the pepper, bay leaves, Herbs de Provence, basil and thyme. Stir well and cover.
- Simmer the soup, over LOW heat, 30 minutes. *See NOTE.
- Discard the bay leaves.
- Serve with the Pie Crust Crackers, and
- Enjoy!
- *NOTE: If the soup is too thin, combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold milk or water and stir to combine. Bring soup to a low boil, stirring occasionally, and cook a few minutes or just until soup thickens.

This immediately became our new favorite comfort soup! Great flavors and the pie crust crackers make it amazing!
So glad to hear you love this recipe, Heidi!
I haven’t made the soup yet, but it’s similar enough to mine that I’m sure I’d like it. The only difference with mine is using Bell’s Poultry Seasoning, rather than Herbs de Provence. I’m not sure about HdP, because I’d had a bad experience using it once, and had to dump something… but I’m willing to try again these many years later.
What I’d REALLY want to thank you for, is the wonderful pie crust cracker idea!!!! I’ll be making those a lot, to use in the soup, but also with regular pot pie filling, if time is short to do the 2-step process, and also with a beef pie filling, French meat pie filling, and whatever else comes to mind! I love the idea of having the crust portion done at the same time as the filling is done, and saving time to get things on the table quickly, rather than doing the longer process of then filling the crust and baking it! We’ll be having savory “pies” and other things a lot more often now! Very clever idea! Thanks so much!
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!
