Chicken Pot Pie Soup Recipe (2024)

March 21, 2019 by Melissa 26 Comments

Chicken Pot Pie Soupis a quick and easy dinner with all the flavors of a traditional chicken pot pie. This soup is so creamy and delicious. It is the perfect use for a store bought rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken.

Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Chicken Pot Pie is one of my favorite meals, but it can be time consuming. Chicken Pot Pie Soup has all the flavors of a traditional chicken pot pie in a fraction of the time. In this recipe, I start with making a traditional chicken pot pie gravy and adding rotisserie chicken and frozen shredded hash brown potatoes to cut the cooking time way down. I also use store bought pie crust for the perfect buttery and crunchy soup topping.

This is such a great dinner idea, and perfect for using up leftover chicken or a store bought rotisserie chicken. This is quick cooking as well. Since we are using hash browns instead of diced potatoes, you save time by not having to peel or dice potatoes, and they are tender in just a few minutes.

What really makes this soup though is the pie crust topper. I use two store bought pie shells, they are usually sold in packs of two in the freezer section, and bake them according to the package directions.
