We love this soup; so easy to make, and my kids even eat the veggies!

I am a huge fan of soup in the fall and winter months all year. Typically, I have a soup I stick to for the season, like summer. We do a lot of my Chicken Tortilla Soup, and I stick to this Chicken Pot Pie Soup for fall and winter.

I can’t even begin to describe how amazing this soup is: creamy, warm, and full of comfort. And guess what? You don’t even miss the crust from the chicken pot pie.

Thick, creamy, and delicious. Plus, everything comes together in just 30 minutes.

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!

The Secret Ingredient that Makes it Amazing

Now, I know many people have a pot pie soup they love, but a secret ingredient elevates this soup to a whole new level of awesomeness.

So here it is, the secret my friend Zora shared….Montreal steak seasoning! It’s a spice mix with various flavors that gives this chicken pot pie soup an amazing flavor.

  1. We loved this! I think it is better than pot pie and way less work. I added the potatoes with the water and they cooked just fine along with the rest of the soup.

  2. You will probably hate my comment, but here it is anyway. I am a Scout Master and have taught my boys a version of this recipe that is – I am sure – not as good, but very fast and simple for even my youngest boys to master. Here is how we do it at Scout camp. Put a couple packages of frozen mixed veggies into a pot along with a rotisserie chicken that has been torn up into pieces. cover with water or chicken stock and bring to a boil. While that it heating up, take two packages of country gravy mix and add just enough cold water to make a slurry. When the veggies have cooked enough to be tender, and the chicken has heated through (about 5 minutes), add the gravy slurry and stir immediately. It is ready to eat in 30 to 60 seconds. Add more water to achieve the right consistency for soup, stew or as a topping. For fewer boys just add one package of veggies, part of a chicken and one package of gravy mix. To feed more boys you can serve over broken bread, instant mashed potatoes, instant rice or noodles. For a meal that is ready in about 10-15 minutes, it is pretty dang good. The boys love it and quite honestly, I would each just about anything with country gravy one it!! I am going to try adding your Steak Seasoning, it sounds. good. Of course, when not a Scout camp, I am quite sure I would prefer your version of this and am going to try it soon. Thanks for sharing. Burt

    1. Not at all, that sounds like a great recipe! Our boys love recipes that they can make by themselves, and they especially love cooking at Scout camps! I’ll have to share this idea with them. Let us know what you think about our recipe as well!

  3. 5 stars
    I try many times to make chicken pot pie soup but not make it tasteful. When I try again according to your recipe, it makes yummy and everyone appreciates me. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.

    1. I’m so glad this recipe was able to help you make yummy soup! Thank you for reviewing!

  4. Do you use a total of 3 tbsp of Montreal or just 2? The directions say 1 tbsp in with the veggies and then 2 tbsp when you add the rest of the ingredients to simmer! I hope I didn’t use too much, HELP

    1. Sorry for the confusion! It has been updated, thanks for letting us know. It is 3 Tbsp in total; however, you are welcome to adjust to your taste and season as you go if you don’t want to over-season.
