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.

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!

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.

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

Hi Larisa, an additional 30 minutes continuing the temp of your slow cooker until the pasta is done. Enjoy!

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