Lots of people love soup. I am not really on that wagon, but kind of dallying behind it. I enjoy soup if someone else makes it, but I don’t usually have enough of a craving for it that I would make it myself. However, every once in a while, a soup comes along that makes me think to myself ‘I really should make some soup one of these days!’
Lots of people love crock pot recipes, too. I am not only on board that wagon, I have a permanent seat right up front! 
I usually whip out my crock pot only on the weekends, because my work days are so long (6:00am to 4:30pm) that it isn’t practical to have crock pot meals during the week. They tend to get mushy and overcooked because of the extra long cooking time. But, my good friend Alice sent me this recipe for chicken soup in a crock pot that could not really be overcooked even with an extended day. And, the recipe appeared to be so easy, it almost blew my mind! So I decided to try it!
If you like soup, or if you like cooking with your crock pot, this recipe is for you! And if you like both, you are going to think you have gone to crock-pot-soup heaven. As far as the kids were concerned, I got two enthusiastic thumbs up! The kids liked it, DH liked it, and I liked that dinner was already made when I get home. It was a win-win-win situation. This one is definitely getting a dedicated spot in our dinner rotation!
- 1 cup frozen chopped peppers and onions
- 1 cup frozen cut carrots
- ½ cup frozen corn
- 3 frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2-3 stalks of celery, diced
- 32 ounce boxed chicken brorh
- 1 cup white wine (optional)
- 1 cup rice (optional, add just prior to serving)
- Combine frozen vegetables in the crock pot.
- Place chicken breasts on top.
- Add celery and liquid ingredients.
- Set crock pot to LOW and cook all day.
- Before serving, shred chicken breasts with two forks.
- If desired, cook the rice and add to the soup.
This is a perfect warm-up during the chilly, rainy, early days of spring. A BIG thank you to Alice for sending me this recipe!
Enjoy!

I’m glad everyone enjoyed it!
Yes, we did! You can see I used the wine in the main soup (delicious!) and then the condensed cream soup for the leftovers. It worked out great! And there is lots you can do to change this one up, like using different vegetables or even adding noodles at the end. Oh, the possibilities!
Great looking chicken soup. Can throw together in the morning and come home after work to a nice slow cooked meal, thanks so much, great!
Yes, it is so nice to come home to dinner already made! Thanks for stopping by!
I love my slow cooker! The soup looks soul-satisfying!
I agree, my slow cooker is a life-saver at times…gotta love it!
I make soup all winter and love a soup I can make in the crockpot.
Whoever invented the crockpot was a genius!
My husband (sadly for me) isn’t on the soup bandwagon either. He just doesn’t care for it. sigh This looks great to me! Katrina, Baking and Boys!
Oh too bad! My husband likes soup but I don’t make it much…but crock pot soup I can definitely do! I also have a recipe for a sweet pea and edamame soup that I really like. Maybe I will try to post that one before we get too far from the height of soup season!
