Vegan Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie Soup

Prep time20 min

Cook time35 min

This cozy, ladle-worthy soup builds its flavor the classic way: onion, carrots, and celery softened together until sweet, then simmered with garlic, thyme, and rosemary for that deep, savory backbone everyone loves in a good pot pie. Tender bites and bright green peas fill every spoonful, while a simple cornstarch slurry gives the broth its signature thick, velvety cling. It's the kind of soup that tastes like it simmered all day, with warming herbs and a rich, comforting body in every bowl. Finished with a scatter of fresh parsley, it's an easy weeknight dinner that still feels like a hug in a bowl — and it's a great fit for a vegan table.

Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch rounds
3 stalks celery, sliced ¼-inch thick
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried rosemary
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp black pepper
5 cups chicken broth
Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
1 ½ lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Chef's tip
Choose an unbreaded plant-based cutlet and cook it according to its package - ignore the recipe's raw-chicken cooking times and temperatures - then use it where the cooked chicken goes.
1 ½ cups frozen peas
1 cup heavy cream
Chef's tip
Use unsweetened dairy-free heavy cream in cooked sauces, soups, and ganache. For whipped uses, choose a product labeled whippable.
3 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp cold water
1 tsp salt, plus more to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent and the carrots have begun to soften, about 7–8 minutes.
2
Add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, onion powder, black pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
