Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until vegetables start to soften.
- Stir in minced garlic, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat, cooking for 1 minute to create a roux.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, whisking occasionally, until it begins to thicken.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in the milk, cooked chicken, frozen peas, and frozen corn. Continue to cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the soup is heated through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Taste and season with salt as needed.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Variations & Serving Ideas
While our Easy Healthy Chicken Pot Pie Soup is hearty enough to be a satisfying meal all by itself, imagine the delightful experience of serving it alongside warm, flaky homemade biscuits or a rustic crusty bread perfect for soaking up every last drop of that incredible broth. A crisp, green side salad with a light vinaigrette would provide a refreshing contrast to the soup’s richness. For a touch of whimsy and a nod to traditional pot pie, bake a few puff pastry cut-outs (think stars or circles!) until golden, and crown each bowl with them just before serving. Any glorious leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, making this an ideal recipe for meal prepping throughout your week. It reheats beautifully on the stovetop over low heat or conveniently in the microwave.
