Ingredients for the Veggie Pot Pie Soup

Butter: Creates the flavorful base for sautéing the vegetables and adds richness.

Yellow Onion: Adds depth and sweetness once sautéed.

Garlic: Enhances the aroma and rounds out the flavors.

Carrots, Peas, Corn, and Green Beans: Classic pot pie vegetables that bring color, texture, and natural sweetness.

Potatoes: Provide hearty substance and help thicken the soup.

All-Purpose Flour: Used to create a roux with the butter to thicken the broth.

Vegetable Broth: Forms the main base of the soup and enhances the veggie-forward flavor.

Whole Milk & Heavy Cream: Combine to create a velvety, creamy consistency.

Dried Thyme, Black Pepper, and Salt: Key seasonings to bring balance and savory notes.

Parsley: Brightens the final dish with fresh herbal flavor.

Seared Biscuit Chunks or Croutons: Optional but highly recommended for a “pot pie” topping effect.


How To Make the Veggie Pot Pie Soup

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

In a large soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

Step 2: Cook the Vegetables

Add carrots and potatoes to the pot. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Let cook for 1 minute to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 3: Build the Broth

Slowly pour in the vegetable broth while stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 4: Add Creaminess

Stir in the whole milk and heavy cream. Add the peas, corn, and green beans. Season with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5-7 minutes, until everything is heated through and flavors meld together.

Step 5: Final Touches

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Sprinkle in fresh parsley just before serving. For a classic pot pie feel, top each bowl with a few seared biscuit chunks or golden croutons.


How to Serve This Soup for Maximum Comfort

This recipe yields 6 generous bowls of soul-warming soup. Serve it piping hot with a crusty slice of bread, a dollop of sour cream, or a few golden biscuit bites. It’s the kind of dish that turns a regular Tuesday into something special.

Best Ways to Store Leftover Veggie Pot Pie Soup

Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. The flavors deepen with time, making it even more delicious the next day. Reheat gently over medium-low heat, adding a splash of broth or milk if needed. It also freezes well—just leave out the cream and add it after reheating for the best texture.


Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this soup vegan?
Yes! Swap butter for olive oil, use plant-based milk and cream, and ensure your biscuits (if using) are dairy-free.

What kind of potatoes work best?
Yukon Golds are ideal for their buttery texture, but russet or red potatoes also work well.

Can I add protein?
Certainly! Add cooked chickpeas, lentils, or shredded rotisserie chicken if you’re not keeping it vegetarian.

Is this soup gluten-free?
As written, it’s not. But you can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend and ensure your toppings are also GF.

Can I prep this in advance?
Absolutely. Make the soup up to 2 days ahead, store in the fridge, and reheat when ready to serve.

2 large carrots, diced

2 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup whole milk

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cup frozen peas

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup green beans, chopped

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

1 cup seared biscuit chunks or croutons (optional, for topping)


Instructions

1. Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.

2. Add carrots and potatoes, cook for 6-8 minutes. Sprinkle in flour and stir to coat the veggies evenly. Let it cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.

3. Gradually pour in vegetable broth, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender.

4. Stir in whole milk and heavy cream. Add peas, corn, and green beans. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper. Simmer 5-7 minutes more.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute butter with olive oil and use plant-based milk and cream.

Biscuit chunks add a nostalgic pot pie texture, but the soup is just as good without them.

Add a splash of broth when reheating to maintain creaminess.
