What ingredients do I need to make this Skinny Chicken Pot Pie Soup?

  • Light butter- I use Land O’ Lakes light butter made with canola oil.
  • Rotisserie chicken (without skin) or cooked chicken-shredded or cubed.
  • Onion-diced
  • Celery stalks-finely chopped 
  • Carrots- finely chopped 
  • Garlic-minced
  • All-purpose flouryou can use gluten free flour
  • Small gold or Yukon potatoes-chopped into ½ ” inch pieces
  • Low sodium chicken broth
  • Chicken bouillon– I use THIS one. You could use 2 bouillon cubes, if desired.
  • Black pepper
  • Salt 
  • Fresh Parsley- I like using fresh parsley. You can use 1/2 tsp dried parsley, if desired.
  • Dried oregano
  • Dried basil
  • Fresh thyme– I like using fresh thyme. It enhances the flavor of this soup. You can use 1/2 tsp dried thyme, if desired.
  • Dried sage
  • Bay leaf
  • Fat free half and half or unsweetened almond milk or skim milk– I use land o lakes fat free half as half for more creaminess
  • Cornstarch
  • Frozen peas-not thawed

Do I have to use fresh seasonings or can I use all dried seasonings?

I love using fresh thyme and parsley but if you wanted you can use dried but be sure to only use ½ teaspoon because dried herbs are more concentrated than fresh herbs.

This is a mild flavored soup, so using fresh herbs really makes a difference. Be sure to season the soup with plenty of seasonings, chicken bouillon, salt, and black pepper! 

Can I add other or extra vegetables?

Yes! Feel free to add other vegetables. Just add them in with the frozen peas.

  • Corn
  • Spinach
  • Kale
  • Steamed broccoli
  • Mushrooms
  • Green beans

Can I use leftover chicken or turkey?

Most definitely! Add leftover cooked chicken or turkey.

With a few easy steps like using already cooked rotisserie chicken you too can partake in a fabulous comfort meal.

 How do I make this Skinny Chicken Pot Pie Soup?

I loved this soup!! I used canned chicken breast (undrained) from Sam's club in place of the rotisserie chicken and omitted the salt. I had fat free Half and Half on hand so I used that. I didn't have any fresh spices on hand so I used dried. The seasoning was perfect. I omitted the potatoes, but I think next time I'll add them. Even without the potatoes, this is a hearty soup. There are only two people in our family, so I cut this in half. I will be putting this recipe in my rotation.

On my first week of ww. I made this soup for my family for dinner. I was hesitant because im not a huge soup fan. Wow it was amazing and filling. My 9 year old never eats vegetables. He not only ate some for dinner, he has already asked for some for lunch tomorrow.
