How to Make Bacon Chicken Potato Soup in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
The idea for this Crock Pot Bacon Chicken Potato Soup actually came from a comment from one of our readers. Carolyn P. commented on our Crock Pot Chicken Potato Heaven recipe that she likes to make it into a soup. I thought that sounded like a lovely idea and gave it a try. The results are this delicious soup that is flavorful and filling.
This is definitely not a dump and go recipe. There is a lot of cutting involved. Honestly, I used to hate to make any recipe that had me cutting potatoes or chicken. Then I learned the value of a good, sharp knife. I am a huge fan of Rada knives and have bought this set for loved ones to get them started with some amazing knives. (This post is not sponsored. I just really love these knives.) Having a sharp knife to cut up your potatoes and chicken will make prep for this recipe go by much faster, and the end result is definitely worth your time!
