Why this Recipe Works

I’ve used pie crust with previous soup recipes (remember this Chicken Pot Pie Soup and this Beef Pot Pie Soup), and it always turns out fantastic. So why not try pizza crust?

The result was simply delicious.

  • Feeds a crowd. This recipe made enough soup to for my family of 6 hungry eaters. We even had some leftover for the next day.
  • One step soup. Just put everything in a pot and simmer!
  • Tastes like BBQ pizza. This has all the flavors of a chicken barbecue (Nashville style) pizza but easier to make.
  • 30 minute recipe. While the soup is simmering, bake up the pizza dippers. Everything will be ready to serve at the same time.

Don’t forget dessert! A plate of ricotta cookies is the perfect finish.

Ingredient Notes

  • Chicken breasts. This is a perfect use for any leftover cooked chicken.
  • BBQ sauce. Use your favorite sauce, store bought or homemade.
  • Pizza crust mix. I used Betty Crocker mix for the pizza crust dippers. Refrigerated pizza crust works too.

Recipe FAQs

Can you freeze this soup?

Yes, BBQ Chicken Pizza Soup freezes beautifully. Transfer to a freezer safe container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Freeze before adding cheese for best results.

Can I make this soup with chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Boneless skinless chicken thighs are also delicious in this soup. Make sure to cook and shred the meat before adding to the soup.

Can I make the pizza crust dippers without a pizza pan?

If you don’t have a pizza pan, press the dough into a rectangular on a regular cookie sheet. No pizza pan required!

Instructions 

  • For the soup, add chicken, corn, tomatoes, broth, salt, pepper, bbq sauce, red onion and 1/4 cup snipped cilantro to a large soup pot. Cover and simmer on medium-low heat for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • While soup is cooking, combine pizza crust mix with 1/2 cup water in a bowl. Using a wooden spoon, stir until combined. Dough will be sticky. Press with the palm of your hand onto a large round pizza stone (until it’s about 12inch around). Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt and Italian seasoning. Bake in a 450 degree oven for about 15 minutes. Remove and cut into bite sized pieces.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken. Grab a cooked chicken from the grocery store to make this soup recipe even easier. Or use our shredded chicken recipe!
  • Storing soup. Transfer leftover soup to an airtight container. Store refrigerated and enjoy reheated within 3 days.
  • Storing pizza crust dippers. Wrap in foil or plastic wrap. Store at room temperature and enjoy within 2 days. I like reheating them in the toaster oven before serving.
  • Other dipping ideas. This soup would also be delicious with Garlic Breadsticks for dipping. Or try this Cheesy Garlic Bread.

  1. I heart 30 minutes meals. They just are the easiest and after the busy days of being a mother, taxi driver, laundry mat and everything else, I need 30 minute dinners. 🙂 This soup sounds delicious. It just needs to cool down more here in southern cali so I can make this. Come on cool weather. Pinned Aimee. 🙂

      1. Please do! I’d love some snow. We barley get rain here. I think the coldest it gets is 50’s during the day. I need to take a vacay somewhere it snows. I know it gets tiresome, but I love to snuggle with coffee and a girly movie. 🙂

  2. Would you believe me if I said BBQ Chicken Pizza is one of my favorites?! I really really is! Now I have to make this soup because….. well because it looks amazing!!!

  3. We make a quick and easy pizza soup too, but I never thought about changing out the meat! I will have to definitely try this next time we make it. And of course the pizza dippers are a must! Love those!!!

  4. I am always trying to figure out how to stretch one meal into two! When we have leftovers we do the same thing, we try to throw it into a soup or over pasta! This soup screams comfort food!

  5. You turned my favorite pizza into a soup?! I love it! We’ve got snow in this week’s forecast and I’m thinking I need to make this to get us through it!

  6. We order way too much pizza during busy winter evenings. This looks like a filling and delicious alternative! Pinned!
