Smoked Chicken Pot Pie Soup Recipe
Our simple Smoked Chicken Pot Pie Soup is a unique take on a well-loved dish. The flavors of traditional chicken pot pie are all there, but the soup form makes it even easier to serve and enjoy. It’s the comfort you know, simplified.
Using a Whole Chicken
If you’re up for it, use a smoked whole chicken. After cooking and deboning, use the carcass to make a homemade stock. This not only minimizes waste but also gives your soup an incredibly rich flavor.
Why It’s Delicious
The combination of tender smoked chicken, soft vegetables, and a creamy, savory broth creates an incredible combination of tastes and textures. The flavors meld together beautifully, and the pieces of pie crust tie it all together.
Making this soup is straightforward. You can skip the smoke and use pre-cooked chicken and store-bought broth if you’re short on time. Plus, it’s an excellent option for leftovers.

1

Smoked Chicken Pot Pie Soup FAQ
Can this recipe be made in advance?
Yup! This is an excellent recipe to make for lunches through the week, to bring to a potluck, or just to plan ahead for a heat-and-eat quick weeknight dinner.
What’s the best way to store and reheat leftovers?
Because of the cream in this dish, I don’t recommend freezing it. It’ll keep for several days in the fridge in an airtight container, and reheats well in the microwave or on the stovetop.
Are there any recommended additions or substitutions?
Sure! You can add in diced potatoes if you like, omit any of the vegetables if you aren’t a fan of one in particular, or throw in some extras if there are things in the fridge that need to be used up.

Chicken pot pie has always been one of my favorite dishes, but I never make it at home because I hate baking. This soup is perfect for me. I combine it with some rolls I buy at my local bakery and voila! SO good, especially now that it's unreasonably cold out.
