Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk or half-and-half for extra richness
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots mix
  • 1/2 cup frozen pearl onions (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the dried thyme and rosemary. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste. This creates your roux base.
  5. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth. Add the milk or half-and-half.
  6. Add the shredded chicken, frozen peas and carrots mix, salt, pepper, and bay leaf.
  7. Bring the soup to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend and the vegetables to finish cooking.
  8. Remove and discard the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Ladle the creamy chicken pot pie soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a high protein soup, use 3 cups of shredded chicken instead of 2.
  • If you want a thicker soup, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water, then stir this slurry into the simmering soup until it thickens.
  • Serve this no crust pot pie soup with crusty bread or flaky biscuits for dipping.
