Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup Recipe: Comfort Food Made Easy

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

1. Chop the onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
2. Place the chicken breasts (or thighs) at the bottom of your slow cooker.

Step 2: Add the Base Ingredients

1. Add the chopped vegetables—onion, celery, carrots, and potatoes—on top of the chicken.
2. Pour in the chicken broth and season with garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
3. Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.

Step 3: Shred the Chicken

1. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.

Step 4: Make It Creamy

1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a roux and cook for 1–2 minutes.
2. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half (or heavy cream) until smooth and slightly thickened.
3. Pour the creamy mixture into the slow cooker and stir well.

Step 5: Add Frozen Veggies

1. Stir in the frozen peas and corn. Allow the soup to cook for another 20–30 minutes on high to thicken and heat through.

Step 6: Serve with Biscuits

1. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a warm, flaky biscuit. For extra indulgence, crumble the biscuit into the soup for that authentic “pot pie” experience.

Tips for Success

• Thicker Soup: If you prefer a thicker consistency, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and stir it into the soup during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
• Rotisserie Chicken Shortcut: If you’re in a rush, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and add it during the last hour of cooking.
• Gluten-Free Option: Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free alternative and use gluten-free biscuits or bread.
