What you’ll need
Before you start cooking, gather these items for your Slow Cooker Chicken Pot Pie Soup:
- 1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 4 cups chicken broth (homemade adds an extra layer of flavor!)
- 2 cups diced russet or Yukon gold potatoes
- 1 cup sliced carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 small diced onion
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk

Feel free to get creative! If you’re fresh out of heavy cream, half-and-half or coconut milk works surprisingly well too.
