Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup
I made this slow cooker chicken pot pie soup last night for dinner and everyone loved it! It’s a very friendly and forgiving recipe. The weather this week is in the 70s so I figured I could sneak in a soup recipe.
I bought store bought biscuits for sake of ease and served them with the soup to replicate the taste of a crust of a pot pie. But you can make homemade biscuits if you have the time and inclination. I love this recipe.
This recipe makes enough for my family 2 nights in a row so you may have leftovers if you’re like us. You can halve this recipe too. Just cut all the ingredients in half and keep the same cooking time.

What Slow Cooker Did You Use?
To make Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup I used my Ninja Auto-iQ 6 Quart Slow Cooker.* My favorite feature of this slow cooker is that it has a stove top function. This is perfect for sauteing or browning before you slow cook. This slow cooker has four manual cooking functions: slow cook, stove top sear/Saute, steam, and bake.

I made your recipe and it was yummy. It was a bit thin and my chicken came out tough. Can you given me an explanation as to why my chicken breast may have been tough, please? I used 2 chicken breasts, organic, free range. I cooked according to our instructions. I used cream of mushroom soup as I didn’t have cream of chicken, but it was still good. Thank you

The organic chicken breasts may have been too thin and small for the cooking time. I would reduce cooking time next time. Slow cookers all cook differently as well so it’s hard to say.
I Was excited to see on another recipe that you had a way to adjust the number of servings. I am single and have a mini Instant pot and am frustrated knowing how to reduce 6 qt recipes for my 3 qt.
I am lactose intolerant. Ok to sub almond milk?
Your site is my favorite. Your instructions are always easy to understand and delicious recipes!
Yes almond milk should work. Thanks for being here!
