This soup is easy, delicious and healthy. Plus it's all made in a slow cooker while you do something else. Top with cheese for a perfect dinner on a cold night.
So on a busy day when we want something flavorful, healthy and easy this fits the bill. A few minutes of chopping and prepping and you are off. Even better, chop and prep the night before. Then all you have to do is wake up, dump everything in the slow cooker and go on about your day.
The best part is coming home to dinner that is almost ready to go. Throw in some pasta, crank'er up and kick off your shoes. Before you know it you'll have a hot bowl of soup in your hand and a smile on your face. Just like that! The best part is the flavors and the pasta are kid friendly too. It is a dinner everyone will love without any fuss!

I thought that was shaved parm on top! Oh yes to this in a slow cooker! Can't wait to try it. Happy weekend cuteness!!
ReplyDeleteI may have snuck a few shavings right off the cutting board too ;-) Doing the soup in the slow cooker makes it so easy! Thanks, Andrea!
DeleteHi Carlee, cooking soup in the slow cooker is my favourite way of cooking it. There is nothing nicer than walking into the house and knowing food is hot and ready to eat. And I think slow cooked soup tastes so much nicer.

I think so too, it gives you the chance to get that all day simmered flavor without having to worry about burning or stirring! Thanks, Debbie!
DeleteCarlee, this recipe looks perfect! Next week the weather is getting chilly again, and so I will try this! Fix and forget, my favorite.
ReplyDeleteWe were teased with really nice weather today, but we are back to highs in the low 40s next week. That's perfect soup weather, I'll need to make another batch! Thanks, Amy!
DeleteThis soup sounds very comforting and the slow cooker makes it a fuss free recipe! Plus it's healthy. This is a lovely recipe:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Monika!
DeleteI bet this could be cooked in an instant pot too, may be with the chicken precooked. It sounds good. Thanks for visiting Family Joy Blog linkup again.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get on the instant pot bandwagon... the issue is I already have so many kitchen toys and only so much storage!
DeleteHi Carlee, this soup looks and sounds so good! I love making soups in the slow cooker during the winter months. Thanks for sharing at C&C with J&J.
