Cream of Chicken Soup Recipes
If you’ve followed our site for any length, you all know that we love easy recipes that come together quickly with no stress, no fuss, and simple ingredients.
One of our kitchen hacks is cooking from our pantry and adding fresh ingredients to round out a dish. What’s available on grocery store shelves varies daily and seasonally, so we stock up on ingredients that keep well for extended periods and that we’ll use in multiple dishes.
Pantry ingredients often get overlooked, but they help us use every last bit of food we’ve stocked in our kitchen. Staples like canned vegetables and fruit are also handy when fresh equivalents are out of season or not the quality we’d usually go for.
We end up with many odds and ends in our fridge and kitchen cabinets from stock-up sales. Check out our CrockPot chicken recipes that came together when we needed to find a use for several pounds of chicken and our leftover ham recipes that use up your leftover holiday ham when you can’t face another ham sandwich or omelet.
These recipes that begin with a can of cream of chicken soup prove that you can use this nifty ingredient in yummy, crowd-pleasing starters and entrees that also help you stretch a couple of dollars. We’ll cheer “winner, winner, chicken dinner” to that!
We wrote these recipes with premade cans of cream of chicken soup. They can also be used with a homemade cream of chicken soup recipe. This is not the same thing as chicken broth. You want the creaminess from the soup.
Crock Pot Tater Tot Casserole
This six-ingredient casserole is for you if you love a good hamburger and choose tater tots over fries when given the option. Outside of browning the beef on your stovetop, the slow cooker does all the work, and the Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies give it the perfect zest to balance the richness. Use a spicy variety of Rotel if your family loves spicy food!
Crock Pot Bacon Ranch Chicken
We’ve seen the combination of bacon, ranch, and chicken on many bar food menus. The cream of chicken soup helps the chicken turn moist and flavorful as it cooks in your CrockPot.
We love serving this yummy slow-cooker chicken on pretzel rolls for game-day sliders that disappear in the blink of an eye every time. It’s also just as delicious served over egg noodles or salads, making it a versatile and flavorful recipe.
Dorito Chicken Casserole
This casserole is a must-have if you’re hosting Tex-Mex night for a large group since this recipe is made for ten servings and is a fantastic use of leftover rotisserie chicken.
The crushed Doritos give it texture and flavor, and the Mexican shredded cheese is a cheesy binder if you like cheesiness in every bite of your dinner. Check out the recipe post for ideas for customizing it. If you enjoy this recipe, you’ll also love John’s Frito Taco Casserole!
Chicken Casserole with Ritz Crackers
This Ritz cracker chicken casserole is comforting and customizable to everyone’s taste! You can prepare it as-is or add quick-cooking veggies like broccoli and peas to bulk it up and add more nutritional value.
Pair it with our Creamed Corn Casserole and Bisquick Peach Cobbler for an all-American, homestyle meal made entirely in your home kitchen!
Funeral Potatoes
If you can get past this dish’s morbid name and its history linking it to the Mormon church, you’re in for a cheesy potato side dish that will delight at parties, gatherings, and other functions that bring your loved ones together!
We love that the Corn Flakes cereal gives it the perfect crunch and slight sweetness for balance. Our Cracker Barrel Hash Brown Casserole is similar to these potatoes, save for a few tweaks, so check out the recipe if you like potatoes and Cracker Barrel as much as we do.
Slow Cooker Chicken Stroganoff
Italian salad dressing and cream of chicken soup are the not-so-secret ingredients that make this CrockPot Chicken Stroganoff flavorful without the need to measure out a row of spices on your kitchen counter or worry that you missed an ingredient during the cooking process.
We love it as-is, but you can add fresh or canned mushrooms toward the end for a yummy Chicken Mushroom Stroganoff.
CrockPot Turkey Curry
Turkey is not known for being the most flavorful meat and often needs other ingredients to turn it into a crowd-pleasing dish you’ll want to savor.
In this spin on a global favorite, cream of chicken soup combines with curry powder, heavy cream, and black pepper to make a delicious “gravy” for everyone’s favorite holiday bird. This recipe would be a fantastic way to turn any leftover turkey breast in your fridge from Thanksgiving into tonight’s dinner.
Crock Pot White Chicken Chili
This slow-cooker recipe for white chicken chili is not only a winner for repurposing any leftover rotisserie chicken lingering in your fridge but also a fantastic chili recipe if you like the idea of chili but prefer one that isn’t tomato-based.
We use mild white chili beans and a reasonable amount of cayenne for just the right amount of heat, but you can choose a spicier bean variety and add more cayenne if you prefer more of a kick.
Crock Pot Tater Tot Chicken Casserole
You’ll love this multitasking cheesy chicken, broccoli, and tater tot casserole for tonight’s dinner and tomorrow’s breakfast! The cream of chicken soup helps season the dish and bind every bite with flavor and a creamy, rich texture.
As with many of our chicken recipes, this slow-cooker recipe makes excellent use of leftover rotisserie chicken if your household buys it as a staple protein.
CrockPot Chicken and Dumplings
If the thought of spending hours in the kitchen hovering over a stove has you running for the hills, you’re in for a treat with this slow cooker chicken and dumplings version that begins with a box of Bisquick Baking Mix and a can of cream of chicken soup! It’s a family favorite of ours during the winter months when hearty, stick-to-your-ribs meals hit the spot.
CrockPot Chicken and Dressing
What’s not to love when you combine moist, juicy chicken breast, melty cheddar cheese, and everyone’s favorite bread-based Thanksgiving side dish?
We used Stove Top brand stuffing mix, but you can use any stuffing you enjoy, including any leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner. You can also use another condensed soup if you don’t have cream of chicken or want to try a different flavor.
Crock Pot Chicken Orzo Casserole
Recipes like this cheesy chicken, veggie, and orzo casserole bake have gone the extra mile for us during busy weeks when we’ve had little time to sit down and breathe, let alone think about grocery shopping.
You’ll love that it uses pantry staples, eliminating the need for an extra grocery store trip to make a meal, and uses any frozen veggie mix already stockpiled in your freezer.
Chicken Spaghetti with Rotel
We love how the cream of chicken soup in this pasta casserole amps up the flavor of the chicken and combines with Rotel and Velveeta to make a creamy, velvety sauce with the right amount of cheese and heat in every bite.
This recipe is super customizable to the ingredients you have in your pantry and the taste buds of everyone at the dinner table. You can use a spicy Rotel variety if you or your loved ones crave heat and pasta noodles other than spaghetti if you don’t mind a different pasta.
Cracker Barrel Hashbrown Casserole
We often made this copycat Cracker Barrel side dish favorite when we lived in Spokane and had cravings for the all-American chain but didn’t want to drive to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, to get to our closest location.
Serve it with our Cracker Barrel Pecan Pancakes, Fried Apples, Green Beans, and Chicken and Dumplings for the complete restaurant experience from home.
Campbell’s Green Bean Casserole
Did you know this classic side dish has graced Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner spreads for over 60 years? With five of the six ingredients being pantry staples, it’s easy and economical enough to make way past the holiday season and even add to your regular rotation if you love green beans.
CrockPot Cheesy Hashbrowns
Say hello to your new favorite brunch and breakfast potato side dish that comes together entirely in your CrockPot! We typically use cream of mushroom soup as the creamy, rich base to keep it vegetarian.
However, you can swap this ingredient with cream of chicken soup if you aren’t cooking for vegetarians and want to add chicken flavor to your cheesy hash browns.
CrockPot Cheesy Chicken and Rice
With all the time you’ll save making this chicken and rice dish in the slow cooker, you’ll have ample time for that 5 o’clock glass of wine or midday cup of tea before dinner!
We love that this recipe adapts to any rice or grain in our kitchen cabinets and that the CrockPot makes the chicken super tender. You can use cream of chicken soup instead of cheddar or mix them in equal proportions for cheese and chicken flavor.
Broccoli Casserole
This broccoli casserole bake is similar to our Campbell’s green bean casserole. It uses broccoli instead, which is fantastic if you like the idea of the dish but prefer broccoli over green beans or only have broccoli in your fridge.
As with most casseroles, we love that you can assemble it the day before and bake it when it’s time to eat.
