Chicken Pot Pie Soup. . . your favorite comfort food, now in soup form. A perfect weeknight dinner!
A little over a year and a half ago, we took a family trip to Disneyland during the fall. One of the evenings was a little chilly, so we stopped at The Pacific Wharf Cafe for a bowl of soup in a bread bowl. I ordered the seasonal soup, which happened to be Chicken Pot Pie Soup.
Oh my. It was so yummy that I actually came back the next day for lunch and ordered the very same thing. I never do that, so you know it was good!
I vowed that when I got home, I would have to try and replicate the recipe. Then I got sidetracked. For 16 months. Ahem. But I finally did it!
I came up with a recipe for chicken pot pie soup that was just as good as I remembered it. I got lucky this time, and it only took me one try.
As soon as I tasted it, I knew it was a winner. Everyone in the family scraped their soup bowls clean. Hooray!
I even topped it off with flaky strips of pie crust that I rolled out and cut with a pizza cutter. I made my own using this pie crust recipe, but you can definitely use store bought crust. I just didn’t have any on hand. It is the perfect addition to the soup, and add a nice crunch.
Seriously, this soup is a new family favorite. I am already planning to make it again. It is absolutely scrumptious, and so hearty. Perfect for frigid winter evenings like we’ve been having here in Utah.
Today is actually National Soup Day, so I’m teaming up with the Celebrating Food Holidays Bloggers to share even more comforting soup recipes. We have a few new faces this year, and I can’t wait to try all of the yummy recipes they’ll be sharing!

I adore pot pie, but hate how the crust get soggy for left over – the idea of cooking these pie strips so I can always top this soup with something crunchy is BRILLIANT!

I’m with you Ashlee- soggy pie crust is the pits. I usually only put a top crust on my pot pies just to avoid that very problem! These add such a fun crunch to the soup.

This looks so yummy, Kara! And I love the idea of the pie crust strips on top. I would have a hard time not just eating all of those by the handful, though. 🙂

Haha, yes. I had to put them in a ziplock bag and hide them in my craft room so my boys didn’t eat all of them before we even sat down to dinner!
