Ingredients (Serves 6)
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
3 medium carrots, chopped
3 celery stalks, chopped
1 medium onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker
Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Add the chicken broth, chopped carrots, celery, onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried parsley.
Gently stir to combine the vegetables and seasonings.
Step 2: Slow Cook the Soup Base
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook:
On low for 6–7 hours, or
On high for 3–4 hours
The chicken should be fully cooked and tender by the end of this time.
Step 3: Shred the Chicken
Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir.
Step 4: Make the Creamy Thickener
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes lightly golden and bubbly.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream until smooth and thickened. This creates a creamy roux that gives the soup its classic pot pie texture.
Step 5: Finish the Soup
Pour the cream mixture into the slow cooker. Add the frozen peas and corn, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Stir everything together until well combined.
Step 6: Final Cook
Cover and cook on low for an additional 30 minutes, allowing the soup to heat through and thicken slightly. The vegetables should be tender, and the soup creamy and rich.
Serving Suggestions
This soup is delicious on its own, but it pairs perfectly with:
