Inspiration for This Soup
Last week, I went over my friend Zora’s house and as I walked in I could smell dinner. I thought something along the lines of a pot pie. When I asked what it was, she said it was a Chicken Pot Pie Soup, and I just had to try it. Because Zora is one of the nicest ladies I have had the pleasure of calling my friend, she got me a spoon.
Oh, it was amazing! I loved it and immediately asked for the recipe. She said, “I just threw it together.” But she gave me the list of ingredients, and a few days later, my family and I enjoyed the same soup!

In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add in carrots, cook for 1-2 minutes, then add in onion and celery. Season vegetables with 1 tablespoon of Montreal Steak seasoning. Cook until onions are translucent and the vegetables are just tender.

Instead of heavy cream could I use lactose free milk?
The chicken pot pie soup was wonderful. Thank you. Carolyn
This was Delicious !!! I served our soup in a bread bowl – it was amazing !!! Thanks for a great recipe.
What is the “chicken base” that you are supposed to add?
I’ve made this a few times now, everyone just loves it!
It’s over the canned chicken in powder of cubed form at the grocery store
Any suggestions for making this into a slow cooker soup to come home to after working? This sounds delicious and can’t wait to try it!
yes, add all ingredients to crockpot, add enough water, and turn on. boom.
Its the middle of summer, but I saw this recipe and wanted to try it. I didn’t have chicken base so I used the stock the chicken cooked in as well as some extra chicken stock I’d had left over. At the end I added some Bisquick drop dumplings. This was amazing. Very hearty and was a snap to make after work. I will definitely be using this recipe many times again. Thank you for sharing.
YUMMYYYYYYYYY
Great warming meal for the fall and winter! It can be tweaked for those with Celiac or gluten sensitivities or dairy allergies.
My family can’t quit raving about this soup! The kid just gave me two big thumbs up!
This made my night! xo San
I have actually donebthis but with left over turkey from Thanksgiving i have pinned it to my boards thanks
I’ve made this twice; a double batch then a quad!!! Followed the recipe closely and it’s one the the most unique and impressive tasting soups I ever made! What a perfect blend of ingredients; I’m amazed how much the Montreal Steak Seasoning adds to the flavour profile! Excellent recipe Sandra, thank you so much for sharing!
I absolutely LOVE this recipe, I’ve served it so many times and there’s never leftovers regardless of the amount made. It’s just impossible to resist. With that said, I was wondering if this is possible to make in a crock pot, and if so any ideas on how to go about it? Add all ingredients besides the flour mixture, the chicken and potatoes and cook on low for a few hours, then add the them at the end? Or add the flour mixture as well as the chicken (perhaps raw?) and then cook for a few hours, shred when you add the potatoes?
Loved it! Made it last night and all the ladies in my office asked for the recipe!! This will be a go to in my recipe box!
So glad you love it!
This soup is so delicious!
I love chicken pot soup. Is amazing and not expensive at all to make.
I believe the chicken base is also known as chicken boullian (knorrs brand?)
Yes you got it – there is a powdered cube version and the base is more like a creamy base – like a peanut butter like texture – I prefer this over the dried cubes but you could use either.
Just need to know what is Montreal Seasoning?
Yes Please
Montreal Steak Seasoning – you can find it in the seasoning aisle.
🙂 San
It’s over in the spices by the steak sesonings. Wonderful flavorful blend.
to celebrate winning four Stanley Cups in a row, the Montreal Canadians created a seasoning that would later be named, Montreal Steak Seasoning.
I love this soup recipe. I can’t wait to try it this fall!!!
So excited soup season is coming!
Delicious indeed, I’ve tried for my kids and they love it. Thanks for sharing
