    This healthy chicken pot pie soup is made with hearty vegetables, juicy chicken thighs, and creamy coconut milk, making it rich, comforting, and absolutely delicious. It is also dairy free, paleo, low carb, and Whole30.

    I created this soup recipe with the intentions of having something that was super nourishing while being incredibly tasty and quick to throw together.

    The base of the dish is simple: broth, shredded chicken thighs (but any part of the chicken will do), and hearty veggies.

    The coconut cream does a really good job at thickening the soup up and making it more filling, a comprehensive meal.

    I even love this soup eaten cold the next day or reheated.

    It keeps well in the refrigerator and will last you several days if you have self control. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I sure don't.

    What ingredients will you need?

    This soup is made with real food ingredients and comes together really quickly but beautifully.

    Here's what you'll need:

    • Chicken thighs
    • Mirepoix (celery, onions, carrots)
    • Mushrooms
    • Frozen peas
    • Potatoes
    • Broth
    • Coconut milk
    • Onions
    • Garlic
    • Spices
    • Arrowroot flour
    ingredients laid out to make chicken soup

    How to make creamy chicken pot pie soup

    Heat up a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add oil and let that heat for another minute.

    Season chicken liberally with a few teaspoons of salt and a few big pinches of black pepper. Add diced chicken to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until browning.

    Do not worry about cooking it all the way through, as that will happen later. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and set aside.

    Add mirepoix to the pot, along with mushrooms, and garlic. Saute for 5-6 minutes until soft. Add diced potatoes to the pot, along with bay leaf, and Italian seasoning. Stir until it is all well combined.

    Pour in the broth, and bring the mixture to a boil, then lower to medium-low heat and cook for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.

    In a small bowl, whisk together arrowroot flour with coconut milk. Add to the pot and mix until the soup begins to thicken.

    Put in cooked chicken and frozen peas. Stir occasionally and let all the flavors meld together.

    Once peas are cooked, about 5-7 minutes, the soup is done. Taste and add additional salt and pepper. Enjoy!

    Storage suggestions and recipe tips

    The soup will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days in an airtight container.

    You can reheat it or eat it cold. Sometimes, I prefer to eat my thick soups cold... just try it! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    In place of chicken thighs, you can absolutely use chicken breasts if that is your preference.

    Feel free to also use your favorite broth including but not limited to: chicken broth, vegetable broth or bone broth. I recommend using something with low sodium.

    Otherwise, just be very mindful of how much kosher salt you are adding to the soup.
