Add the condensed soup, chicken stock, and seasonings.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Serve with a biscuit on top.
💭 Insider tips: things to know
- Stick with waxy, firm red, gold, or fingerling potatoes. Russets are too starchy and turn to mush in soups.
- Cut the chicken, fresh veggies, and potatoes into bite-sized pieces so they’re not a choking hazard for your little ones. This also helps them cook evenly.
- Use your favorite frozen veggie mix—no thawing needed. You can also switch up the blend if you like. Green beans, peas, corn, and mushrooms are tasty in chicken pot pie soup!
Marye's Tip o' the day
Use a crockpot liner to make cleanup effortless!
🥫 Leftover love: how to store and reheat slow cooker chicken pot pie soup
Let the soup cool, then keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days.
Freeze chicken pot pie soup in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
When storing leftovers, keep the biscuits separate. You can store biscuits at room temperature for a few days or frozen for months.
Warm leftover soup on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If it’s too thick, add a splash of broth or milk. You can also use the microwave for quicker reheating.
🤫 Marye's secret for zhuzhing it up
Serve chicken pot pie soup in hollowed-out crusty bread bowls to make the soup even heartier and more special. Add some fresh herbs on top (like parsley) for restaurant-worthy presentation!
zhuzh: verb. To make something more interesting or attractive
👩🍳 Let's answer those questions: FAQs
Have other questions? Ask me in the comments!
Sure. Add a dash of creole seasoning, smoked paprika, ground mustard, garlic powder, or a pinch of chili flakes. A bay leaf adds more depth of flavor—just remember to remove it before serving.
Store-bought biscuits are just fine, but homemade buttery biscuits take this recipe to the next level. Even crescent rolls work in a pinch!
You’ll need to pre-cook your chicken or use leftover shredded chicken. Then, saute the fresh veggies in a large pot with oil or butter until softened, and add the potatoes, chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, and seasonings.
Cover and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Add the cooked chicken and frozen veggies, cover, and simmer for five more minutes.
Yep, as long as you buy gluten-free cream of chicken soup. The regular kind generally contains flour.
⏲️ Marye's time saving hacks -
Want to simplify prep even more? Don't like cutting raw chicken? Use cooked rotisserie chicken instead of fresh chicken breasts! Just wait to add it to the crockpot until the last 15-20 minutes of cooking.

- Cook some pasta (like penne, rotini, or gnocchi), mix it with the chicken pot pie soup, and top with shredded cheese and crushed Ritz crackers. Bake until bubbly and golden for a comforting casserole.
- Hollow out bell peppers, fill them with the leftover soup and rice, and bake until they are tender for a fun twist on stuffed peppers.
- Mix leftover chicken soup with steamed rice for a stew-like dish. Add a can of cannellini beans for more bulk, and stir in some hot sauce to finish it off.
