Slow Cooker Potato-Chicken Soup
Serves: 6
Cook Time: 8 Hrs
This creamy version puts a new spin on grandma’s homemade chicken soup. Rather than noodles, this soup formula has a pound of potatoes to make it hearty and mouthwatering.
The best part? The creamy soup is only 223 calories! Top it with some crumbled goat cheese and caramelized shallots to take the skinny slow cooker meal to gourmet standards!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound of skinless and boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1in. pieces
- 3 cups of reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 pound of tiny yellow or red scrubbed and quartered potatoes
- ¾ cup of sliced green onions (the white parts)
- 1 sliced carrot, 1/4-inch thick
- 3 minced cloves of garlic
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ½ cup of half-and-half
- 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup of fresh or frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme
- Optional: 1 ounce of crumbled goat cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the chicken in your slow cooker. Add the chicken broth, potatoes, onions, carrots, and garlic.
- Cover your slow cooker and cook on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
- In a small-sized bowl, whisk the half-and-half and flour together, and add the mixture to the soup in the pot. Stir in the peas, goat cheese (if using), and thyme. Cover your pot again and cook for another 15 minutes or until the soup has thickened. If you wish, sprinkle some crumbled goat cheese and Caramelized Shallots when serving the soup in your bowls.

This looks like a great recipe. I wish there was a way I could print it out, just this one.
just WRITE it down like I did……DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was taught that if you didn’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Someone has a question a legit question, and all you can say is duh. I would much rather print it and put it with my recipes and have to write it all down much cleaner
Agreed, no need to be rude. I find it much easier to print out myself. My handwriting is getting worse as I age.
I just did. Highlight recipe, hit copy and then paste into email to yourself.
Then print your email and there you have it. I had to do picture separately but do the
same way. Love pot roasts and so filling.
I take photos of only the recipes I want then print those out. If you are able to rearrange the recipes to take out ads and extraneous parts, then copy the photos and delete parts you don’t want on an iPad’s Pages.
Hi Janet. I’m on my cell phone and I can copy/paste the recipe. Try it! You can then paste it into your email or into a word doc and save it wherever you want or print it too. Hope this helps
Try touching the 3 lines on the lower right of the page, a group of icons will appear to allow you to SHARE….
Then you should be able to send yourself a rext message link with only that page so you can print out that one recipe. That’s what worked for me.
Try doing Ctrl P on your computer keyboard and see if you can print from that. Just a thought.
Roni here. I, too, hate when I can’t copy these recipes. I did finally manage the burito bowl one. What I did was highlight the printing I wanted copied. To the right of my screen, a listing came up and I clicked on ‘print’. Then to the left of the screen appeared the actual description of how I would want it to print. 8X11, etc, single page, back to back, etc and I clicked ‘single sheet’ and at the bottom of the screen in a big square, I then clicked “print”. The only thing that happened that I didn’t like was # 3 of the directions was omitted. I just had to write 2 sentences about shredding chicken and I was done. I wish I knew the entire answer of why they show these things and don’t allow the printing to take place. ?? Hope this was helpful.
You can print it. Just go to the 3 little dots at the top right hand corner of laptop. Select Print. Choose the pages you want to print. There you go. Add to your recipes. 🙂
write it down w/pen OR pencil like I did!
