Here's a simple and delicious recipe for slow cooker chicken, bacon, and potato soup:

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 lbs (about 700g) boneless,  chicken breasts
  • 6 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 4 cups (about 1 liter) chicken broth
  • 4 cups (about 1 kg) potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (about 60g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (about 120g) cheddar cheese, shredded (for garnish)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method:

  1. Place the chicken breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until it's crispy. Remove excess fat, leaving about 1-2 tablespoons in the pan.
  3. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet with bacon fat. Sauté until onions are translucent.
  4. Transfer the bacon, onions, and garlic mixture to the slow cooker over the chicken.
  5. Add diced potatoes, sliced carrots, and sliced celery to the slow cooker.
  6. Pour chicken broth over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Add thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the chicken and vegetables are tender.
  8. About 30 minutes before serving, shred the cooked chicken directly in the slow cooker.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy cream and flour until well combined. Stir the mixture into the slow cooker to thicken the soup.
  10. Continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes.
  11. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  12. Serve the soup hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy your delicious slow cooker chicken, bacon, and potato soup!
