So there are those days where you just don't really feel like cooking. And believe me, those days happen more often than we'd like to admit.
Those are the days you need something quick and easy to make, but nobody wants to eat something store-bought when you can enjoy a homemade meal instead. This Chicken Pot Pie Soup recipe is the perfect dish for nights like those.
This dish gives you all the creamy, savory, and scrumptiousness of chicken pot pie in beautiful soup form.
You get all the benefits of the comfort food staple without all the extra effort and time. And honestly, if there's an easier route to get the same end result with less effort, I'm going to take it, especially when it comes to cooking.
But to make this even easier, I made this using leftover rotisserie chicken! I always buy rotisserie chicken but I can't always think of recipes using that rotisserie chicken. This pot pie soup will be a great way to use up that chicken.
You might also like the Low carb Chicken Cordon Bleu casserole I have that uses leftover rotisserie chicken. This simple Chicken and Kale soup is another great use of leftover rotisserie chicken. You might also like this Caldo de Pollo.
Not only is this a fantastic substitute for chicken pot pie, but this soup also freezes very well. It's the perfect dish to make for meal prepping for the week and it tastes every bit as good the next day!

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter

- 1 cup Celery, diced
- 3 cups Rotisserie Chicken, diced (or use diced uncooked chicken thighs)
- 1 cup green beans, cut
- 1/2 cup Carrots, sliced
- 1/3 cup Green Peas, (optional but highly recommended)
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
- Melt butter in a 3-quart pot over medium heat. Add onions, celery, and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes until the onion is translucent.

- Cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables have cooked through. If you are using uncooked chicken, check to ensure the chicken has cooked through.
- In a slow, steady stream, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Sprinkle the xanthan gum and stir to mix. Allow the soup to boil gently for 5 minutes and then serve hot.
For Instant Pot
- Place chickens, onion, celery, garlic, melted butter, green beans, carrots, peas broth, salt, pepper, and thyme into your pressure cooker. In other words, pour everything but the cream and xanthan gum in there.
- Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes. Allow it to release pressure naturally for 5 minutes, and then carefully release all remaining pressure. If you start to get soup spurting out of the valve, quickly close the valve and let it rest a minute or two before trying again
- Open the lid, and turn the pot to sauté. In a slow, steady stream, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Sprinkle the xanthan gum and stir to mix. Allow the soup to boil gently for 5 minutes and then serve hot.

Hi. The info above says this meal can be frozen. Do you freeze it after adding the cream?
URVASHI PITRE
I’d freeze without the cream
Maureen
I plan on making this over the weekend! I want to make it with fathead dough- how long & at what temp do you cook it? Do you recommend I just put it in a baking pan & cover with dough?
Tracy Greenfield
I've made this several times. It's a great recipe.

Home with the flu! I wanted a low carb alternative to Chicken Noodle Soup. I found your site and this recipe. I modified it with less garlic and more xanthum gum (3/4 tsp). It turned out warm and comforting just as I had hoped. My husband agreed this recipe is a keeper! I highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for low carb comfort food!

Hope you feel better!

Very easy and very good! I had frozen chicken bits (raw). Everyone enjoyed rhe dish. My 6 year old even ate it all!
Mine didn't thicken up much since I didn't have xanthan gum i used a little corn starch instead since I had some on hand.

This was a delicious recipe. I used defrosted boneless skinless chicken cut into bite sized pieces and cooked it for 12 minutes instead of 10. Came out perfect.
