Notes

  • For a thicker soup, remove about 1 cup of the soup mixture near the end of cooking, blend it until smooth, and stir it back into the slow cooker.
  • You can use frozen chicken breasts if you are short on time; adjust the cooking time slightly longer.
  • This recipe makes a large batch, which is great for freezer friendly soup storage.
