Slow cooker chicken pot pie soup is an easy, creamy, and flavorful soup you’ll want to make all year round. A delicious twist on a comforting classic!
Even though I generally really hate the frigid temperatures, snow, ice, and can’t figure out half the time why I live in the mountains of Utah, I welcome all of these cold-weather things one time of year – Christmas time. It looks like story-book Christmas out my living room window as I’m sitting here cozied up in my favorite blanket and warmest sweat pants and I’m loving it.
Starting January 1 I am done with the snow but for the month of December I love these cold, gray days where things like crockpot soups are happening on the regular. The great thing about living in a place where you have four distinct seasons is that by the time you are really sick of one type of weather, a new one comes in and before long you are missing the last season. So I’m just letting myself soak up this sweat pants and soup season while it lasts because I know it won’t be around too long.
This soup is a fun little twist on the comfort food classic chicken pot pie. It’s creamy, veggie and chicken-loaded crockpot goodness topped with a warm biscuit. Or two. Or three. If you’ve got veggie haters in your house, this is a great way to get them to love their peas, corn, and carrots, and if you already love veggies then you’ll be extra crazy about this easy slow cooker chicken pot pie soup!

Yum! So easy and delicious! Very creamy. 🙂 Skipped the biscuits though, was thinking homemade ones would be better than canned ones.
Would it ruin the recipe if it cooked longer than 6hrs? The potatoes arent tender enough after 4hrs and I go to work soon.
It should be fine if you cook it for a bit longer 🙂
Can you freeze this soup to use later? If so, would I add cream and then freeze?
Yes, you would make as stated, and then freeze in an air tight container.
