Print Recipe

This creamy pierogi chicken soup is a quick and easy comfort bowl made with frozen pierogies, shredded chicken, and a rich, herby broth. It’s the perfect weeknight dinner that feels like a warm hug in a bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12–15 frozen pierogies (about 1 pound)
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 4 cups chicken broth (low-sodium if possible)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh dill, chopped chives, or a dollop of sour cream

Instructions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the carrots have softened slightly.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried parsley. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add 4 cups of chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Scrape the bottom of the pot to release any browned bits.
  4. Once the broth is boiling, carefully drop in the frozen pierogies. Reduce heat to medium-low and let them simmer for 8-10 minutes until tender but not mushy.
  5. Add the shredded chicken and let it warm through for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low and slowly pour in 1 cup of heavy cream, stirring constantly. Let the soup simmer gently for another 2-3 minutes until hot and slightly thickened.
  7. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh dill or chives if desired.

Notes

Don’t overcook the pierogies; they only need 8-10 minutes. Use low heat when adding cream to prevent curdling. Season in layers for depth of flavor. Garnish with fresh dill or sour cream for brightness. If soup thickens upon standing, add a splash of broth or milk when reheating.
