Recipe Ingredients

• 1½ lbs (681 g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 ribs celery, diced
• 3 carrots, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1½ tsp (9 g) salt
• ½ tsp pepper

How To Make Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup

1. Prepare the base: Combine the chicken, onion, celery, carrots, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, broth, and bay leaf in your 6-quart (6-L) slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
2. Thicken the soup and add peas: One hour before the cooking time ends, remove the bay leaf and stir in the cornstarch mixture and peas. If cooking on low, turn the slow cooker to high, cover, and continue cooking for the remaining hour.
3. Shred the chicken and serve: Remove the chicken and shred using two forks. Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup and serve hot.

Recipe Tips

• Choose chicken thighs for tenderness: Chicken thighs stay juicy and tender after slow cooking, making them perfect for this soup. You can also use chicken breasts, but they may be slightly drier.
• Dice vegetables evenly: Cut the carrots, celery, and onion into similar-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and create a balanced texture in the soup.
• Mix cornstarch properly: Stir the cornstarch and water until smooth before adding it to the soup. This prevents lumps and ensures a creamy consistency.
• Add frozen peas at the right time: Adding the peas during the last hour keeps them bright and tender without overcooking or losing their flavor.
• Shred chicken for a better texture: Shredding the chicken instead of leaving it whole allows the flavors of the broth to soak into the meat, enhancing the overall taste.
