Thick, hearty, and creamy, this Chicken Pot Pie Soup is a comforting meal that's great for cold winter weather! It is so easy to make and full of flavor.
In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the onion, carrot, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Slowly stir in the chicken stock. Add the potatoes, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are tender and the soup begins to thicken, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Stir in the chicken, peas, corn, milk, and heavy cream. Bring the soup back to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir in the parsley just before serving.

Notes
If you do not have fresh thyme, you can use dried thyme. Use around ½ teaspoon of dried thyme instead of 2 teaspoons of fresh thyme, as dried herbs are stronger than fresh herbs.
If you want to make the soup lighter, you can swap the heavy cream for half and half or more milk. It won’t be as rich, but it’ll still be delicious.
Make sure to cut the potatoes as uniformly as possible, so it cooks evenly in the soup. You’ll have to simmer the soup for longer if you cut them larger.
You can swap the frozen corn and peas for canned or fresh if that is what you have on hand.
