A CREAMY AND FILLING DINNER SOUP
This recipe for Slow Cooker Creamy Tuscan Chicken Soup was one I had worked on for a while. I had to experiment with it a few times to get the seasonings just right. This soup is really a whole meal. My whole family loved it! It is very filling. It would be perfect served with a side salad and maybe some bread for dipping into this flavorful broth!
TIPS FOR MAKING THIS CROCK POT SOUP RECIPE:
- Frozen chicken breasts can be used instead of fresh. Frozen chicken breasts tend to be smaller so I would add in an extra one just to make sure there is enough.
- This soup can be made on the stovetop. You can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and shred it beforehand. Then add everything to the pot (minus the heavy cream) until everything has simmered for about 20 minutes then add cream and serve.
- In some stores, you can find pre-cut mire poix (which is just the fancy French term for carrots, onion and celery.) It will save some chopping time.
- Cannellini beans are just white kidney beans. You can use Northern Beans or any other white bean that you enjoy.
- The fire-roasted diced tomatoes add a lot of flavor here. If you can find them, just go with regular diced tomatoes that have the basil, garlic and oregano added.
- To switch this up, try making this with cooked and crumbled Italian sausage.

This was delicious! I used chicken thighs and added a can of fire-roasted corn because I had it, but it was simple to put together and everyone loved it.
