🗒 Instructions

This is an overview of the instructions. Full instructions are in the recipe card at the bottom of the page.

To cook using fresh chicken breasts

1. Heat oil or butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat.
2. Place the chicken, skin-side down, in the Dutch oven and cook until the outside skin is golden brown (about 10 minutes).
3. Transfer chicken to a plate, and keep drippings in the Dutch oven.
4. Remove and discard chicken skin; sprinkle breasts with pepper and one teaspoon salt.

To cook using a rotisserie chicken

Remove the entire chicken breast with bone from the cooked chicken. Remove the meat from the bone, but save the bone for the soup. You will need 4 cups of shredded meat. Set the meat aside.

1. In a large dutch oven (the one you used to cook the chicken if you did that step first), melt butter over medium heat.
2. Add onions to the dutch oven.
3. Add carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
4. Add garlic, thyme, rosemary, and sage.

5. Cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
6. Sprinkle with flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed, about 1 minute.
7. Add wine, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture is fully thickened, about 30 seconds.
8. Stir in broth. Bring to a boil over high. Return the bones from the rotisserie chicken, if using, or add the partially cooked chicken breasts.

9. Reduce heat to medium, and bring to a simmer.
10. Simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the chicken breasts (if using) are fully cooked, about 30 minutes.
11. Transfer chicken to a plate, and let cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken meat; discard bones. If using rotisserie chicken, simply remove and discard the bones.
12. Add shredded chicken to Dutch oven over medium-low. Stir in peas.

13. Add whipping cream and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is warmed through, about 2 minutes.
14. Stir in parsley and lemon juice.
15. Serve with biscuits.

🥫 Storage

Refrigerate leftover soup in an airtight container for up to three days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until hot throughout before serving.

📚 Variations

Chicken Pot Pie Soup is a one-pot meal that has it all: protein, veggies, and biscuits for serving. If you’d like to put your own twist on the dish, here are some ideas:

• If you’d rather skip the biscuits, serve with crusty bread or dinner rolls for dipping.
• Add diced russet potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes before simmering for even more heartiness.
• Mix up the herbs, using what’s fresh from the garden.
• Serve with Cheddar and chive biscuits for even more flavor.
• Add spices to suit your tastes: a hint of nutmeg, mustard powder, or a little cayenne for heat can be nice additions.
• Stir in or top with crisped bacon for a satisfying addition.

👩🏻‍🍳 Tips

• Keep the drippings in the Dutch oven. This is important because the drippings contribute to the overall richness of the soup.
• When adding wine, use a wooden spoon to scrape any flavorful bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. This process is known as deglazing and enhances the flavor of the broth.
• To avoid burns, let the hot chicken cool slightly before shredding. Use two forks or your hands, removing bones and cartilage for a clean result.
