Delicious, flavorful, healthy chicken pot pie soup in the slow cooker. Oh yes, it’s the ultimate comfort food recipe made effortless in your crockpot.

This recipe has all of the traditional pot pie flavors, but it’s lighter in both calories and fat.

Healthy Crockpot Chicken Pot Pie Soup

This warm soup is one that your whole family is sure to enjoy. Yes, even with all of those veggies! They’re cooked down to a perfectly soft texture that everyone is going to love.

My husband loved this dish—he is a chicken pot pie lover, so this soup was a huge hit with him. It has all the classic flavors of a traditional pot pie but without needing to make pie crust. It’s also naturally gluten-free, so I don’t have to make any adjustments to the recipe.

If you need gluten or grain-free biscuits to serve with this soup, my Almond Flour Biscuits are the perfect companion.

This recipe was a big win in our family, and I’m sure it will be in yours, too!

Ingredients

What I love about this soup is that it’s easy to make with pantry staples. You need chicken, pantry spices, and some veggies and you’re ready to make this chicken pot pie soup. Here’s the full list.

  • Chicken breasts: boneless, skinless chicken breasts cubed.
  • Aromatics: diced onion and celery.
  • Carrots: if you have other veggies on hand, you can swap them out!
  • Peas: the classic “green” we expect to find in any chicken pot pie version!
  • Chicken broth: use store-bought or make your own chicken broth with this recipe.
  • Half and half: adds just the right amount of creaminess.
  • Spices: garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Parsley: to sprinkle over the soup.
  • Water: to mix with the corn starch.
  • Corn starch: for thickening this soup.

Simple right? But trust me, these ingredients come together to make something truly amazing. You’ll find the measurements in the recipe card below.

Recipe variations

Customize this recipe with the following suggestions as needed, and you will enjoy an epic soup every time.

Instead of chicken breasts
You can make this recipe using boneless, skinless chicken thighs, pre-cooked and shredded chicken meat, or swap the protein and cook this delicious Turkey Pot Pie Soup.

Swap vegetables
While carrots and peas are a classic, this soup tastes just as good with other veggies such as frozen green beans, corn, diced potatoes, sliced mushrooms, or chopped cauliflower.

Make it dairy-free
Swap half and half for the same amount of cashew milk or unsweetened almond milk. It won’t turn out as creamy, but it’ll still be super delicious. 

Other cooking methods
If you need a quicker cooking method than the slow cooker, make this Chicken Pot Pie on the stovetop or try this Instant Pot recipe.

Once you try this chicken soup, you’ll be planning when to make it again. But this is just the beginning because I have many epic soup recipes for you, like this amazing Chicken Noodle Soup and this Healthy Chicken Stew.

The Old Fashioned Chicken and Rice Soup is always a hit, just like a bowl of Instant Pot Chicken Taco Soup. And did you try my Dutch Oven Chicken Chili? Simply EPIC!

    I made this recipe and loved it! It’s super tasty and filling. I added 1 Teaspoon of Xanthan Gum to thicken the sauce; otherwise, it would have been to soupy. Other than that, it’s a hit!

    The additional 30 minutes, is that on high or low setting of the slow cooker?
    Looking forward to trying this recipe!

    What’s the white stuff sort of floating on the top? Recipe sounds yum, but I’m sure what that is.

      It’s the natural separation of the milk and stock. it’s nothing “weird” or something you will feel texture wise. If you don’t want that, swap the broth for milk in the recipe. Enjoy!
