Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Potato Soup
Description
The recipe begins by placing peeled, diced potatoes, minced garlic, chopped onion, whole chicken breasts, chopped carrots, celery stalks, dried thyme, salt, pepper, and chicken broth in a slow cooker. The ingredients cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, allowing the vegetables to soften and the chicken to cook thoroughly. The chicken is then removed and shredded.
To thicken the broth and break up the potatoes, heavy whipping cream and xanthan gum are whisked in, creating a creamy consistency. The shredded chicken is returned to the soup, and the mixture continues to cook for another 30 minutes. The finished soup is served hot, garnished with shredded cheddar cheese and cooked, chopped bacon, adding texture and flavor contrasts.
This method produces a hearty and creamy chicken and potato soup with tender vegetables and a rich broth, suitable for a filling meal during cooler weather. The use of xanthan gum provides a gluten-free thickening alternative, but a cornstarch slurry can also be used if preferred.
Xanthan gum is used here to thicken the soup, but you can substitute a cornstarch slurry if desired.
