What Ingredients Are in Chicken Pot Pie Soup?

  • Chicken Breasts - 2 lbs of chicken breasts. You can substitute for thighs if you wish.
  • Vegetables - Gold potatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, peas, and celery
  • Seasonings - Salt, pepper, and thyme
  • Heavy Cream -Makes the chicken pot pie soup creamy
  • Puff Pastry - for biscuits. Can substitute for canned biscuits or homemade biscuits.

Puff Pastry Biscuits

Using puff pastry sheets to make biscuits for this delicious comforting Instant Pot Chicken Pot Pie Soup is quick and easy.

To make puff pastry biscuits, thaw out a puff pastry sheet before placing in the oven. Cut the sheet into 12 squares and place on a baking sheet with about 2 inches of distance between them.

To give the biscuits a golden and crisp top, create an egg wash, and brush the tops of the biscuits.

Bake them in the oven at 425° for about 10 to 12 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Sometimes the puff pastry will rise high and fall over. No worries, simply flip the top of the biscuit back over and press down gently to put the top back in place.

If making own biscuits, do you just serve them with the soup or put into soup while cooking?

If you want dumplings, you can set the Instant Pot to saute and cook them after pressure cooking or you can make the biscuits and serve them with the soup. It's up to you! :)

Hi! I was wondering if this recipe uses fresh or frozen chicken? I didn’t see any clarification, and since the cook time (and amount of liquid) varies depending on if it’s fresh or frozen, I didn’t want to assume one way or another. Thanks in advance - I can’t wait to try this recipe!!

Hi Cassie! This uses fresh chicken but you most certainly can use frozen chicken if you wish. When I make this with frozen chicken I add 5 minutes to my pressure cooking time. I hope you enjoy!
