- Shredded turkey would work – perfect for using up Thanksgiving leftovers!
- Sweat your veggies. Make sure your onion and carrots are cooked long enough, so you release their flavor.

faq’s
can I add other vegetables to this low carb chicken pot pie soup?
You certainly can, this soup is a great way to use up other veggies. Here’s some ideas:
- Green Beans
- Asparagus
- Zucchini
- Mushrooms
- Spinach
- Kale
- Sweet potatoes (be wary that you will have to cook those longer or par boil the first).
is this soup creamy?
I haven’t used cream in this Low Carb Chicken Pot Pie Soup, I’ve used milk. But you still get a really hefty, satisfying, and creamy slurp. The soup is lovely and thick while still giving you that creaminess you crave!
What to serve with chicken pot pie
- Warm biscuit
- Roasted veggies
- mashed sweet potatoes or try this mashed Cauliflower recipe
- Baguette
can i freeze this chicken pot pie soup?
This soup won’t freeze that well, because it has dairy in it. Soups that contain milk or cream don’t hold up that well in the freeze, they take on a grainy texture and separate when defrosted and rewarmed.
Also, you can always halve the recipe if you don’t think you’ll use all of it.

I just made this and we all loved it! I used half and half with coconut flour to thicken it up. Toasted Keto bread cut up on top. For the kids I used quick refrigerators biscuits on theirs in the oven. Adding it to the weeknight rotation for sure. Thanks for posting this recipe! I was in a recipe rut.
Perfect! Glad you liked it
Looks delicious! How much would one serving be? Just to double check the calories listed is for one serving?
It’s per serving and it’s one bowl
How is this low carb, when there are 29 carbs, and only 4 grams of fiber? It looks delicious though.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I think some people just don’t know what low-carb really is. I mean for this many carbs I could eat a pasta dish
Can you use an instant pot to make this soup?
Yes absolutely
How would you make this in the instant pot
Hi Maddie, I haven’t tried this in my IP to be sure.
Will almond milk work the same for those of us lactose intolerant?
Hi. Yes, it will, but it won’t be as creamy. Try mixing it with some coconut milk
Why gluten free flour? Can you just use regular flour?
Yes. Any flour will be fine
