Um, hi.
This is me rejecting the end of summer and welcoming fall a few weeks early.
I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY IT’S FALL.
Which means I can post things like this thick, comforting, perfect chicken pot pie soup :).
I have been chomping at the bit to start posting fall-y recipes, and I just can’t take it anymore! Sorry to everyone out there who is trying desperately to grip onto summer for the remaining week or two.
When you visit this blog, you must get in the mindset of fall :). Which means soups, casseroles, crock pots, and anything warm and comforting…aka my kinda food.
When the wonderful Angela at The Chewy Life contacted me about being a part of her Soup Sunday Collaboration, I was SO pumped. Soups are probably my favorite things to make.
Or one pot meals…or casseroles…or…never mind I don’t have a favorite.
Let me rephrase….soups are one of my all time favorite things to make.
So naturally I was extremely excited to be a part of this collaboration! And I have had so much fun reading and drooling over the other Soup Sunday Posts that have been shared so far…click here to take a look!
These are the lovely bloggers that are also contributing to #SoupSundayCollab :).

So get excited for some absolutely mouthwatering soups coming from lots of different directions this month :).
That preeeetty much sounds like my personal heaven.
Now…as for this soup. I really can’t think of many things more comforting than homemade chicken pot pie. The thick, creamy, veggie and chicken packed filling topped with a flaky pie crust. It is seriously the perfect bite.
Now enter this version. A soup version.
Still thick.
Still creamy.
Still packed with veggies and chicken.
But SO easy and way quicker to make! I promise you if you close your eyes and take a bite you will think you are eating a homemade chicken pot pie. It tastes the exact same!
And the reason it tastes the exact same? Because it pretty much is the exact same…I made this soup exactly like I would make a chicken pot pie filling…just with a little more liquid.
The pie crust disks were actually Seth’s idea, and they make all the difference in the world! They transform the dish from a fantastic soup to a fantastic soup that tastes exactly like chicken pot pie :).
Three cheers for Soup Sunday!!!

Excellent soup. Appealing, just like the photos, and delicious and filling! My husband loved it so much he wrote out the recipe so I wouldn’t lose it!
★★★★★
Awesome! I’m so glad you guys loved it :). Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the recipe I can’t wait to cook and try it tonight!! Looks so yummy, nothing better than soup on a cold day! :)
Agreed – the ultimate cold weather food!! I hope you try and love this recipe, Lolo!
I found your recipe on Pinterest and made it for dinner tonight. Everyone loved it, even the kids! I used half & half instead of milk, only because I had some I needed to get rid of, and it was so rich and creamy. Definite hit! Thank you!
★★★★
Hey, Kelly! So glad this recipe was a hit for you guys!! And you can’t go wrong with half and half – I’m sure that made it even more delicious :).
I don’t have fresh nutmeg. How many teaspoons would 5 grates be?
Hate that she has answered EVERYONE else except for this…I was wondering the same thing which is keeping me from making it tonight because I have everything else on hand…but don’t want to ruin it 🤷🏼‍♀️ Will keep looking for recipes I suppose
I meant to reply to the comment once I figured out how much it was exactly. I still haven’t tested it, but my best guess would be about 1/4 teaspoon!
I would guess a pinch would do it!
Hello, this soup is delicious!! Do you think it would freeze well? Thanks!
★★★★★
Thanks, Leah! I think it would freeze well :).
Annie, I finally made one of your recipes !!! There are so many that look divine, I’ve decided to try one each week and that will get me to cooking more also” WIN WiN. The soup was fabulous and even resembled your picture. Is it bad to add 2 of the pie crust discs, haha, they are so cute.
Hey Evan! I’m so glad you liked it! This soup was a good pick…yum. And I’m preeeettty sure there was one (and by one I mean five) times that I added more than two pie crust discs to my single bowl, so you’re good :).
I made this today and my family thought it was really good, thanks for the recipe!

I’m so glad you and your family enjoyed it, Petrie!!

Chicken pot pie soups is one of my favorites!! I actually coconut milk in my recipe to keep it dairy free, but your recipe looks delish! Perfect for cool weather :)
