Below is a step-by-step guide to making this hearty slow cooker chicken pot pie soup in your own kitchen.

Ingredients You’ll Need

To create a flavorful, filling soup, gather the following ingredients:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 medium onion, diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
3 celery stalks, chopped
2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
4 cups chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter version)
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried parsley
½ tsp ground black pepper
Salt, to taste
Optional: refrigerated biscuits, puff pastry squares, or buttery crackers for serving

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with a bit of nonstick cooking spray (or lightly grease with butter) to prevent sticking. Add in the diced onion, carrots, celery, potatoes, garlic, and chicken breasts (whole).

Step 2: Add Liquids and Seasonings

Pour in the chicken broth until the ingredients are fully covered. Add the thyme, parsley, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together gently, ensuring the chicken is submerged.
