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!

please, what on earth is Velvertina? I live in UK, & its not something i have ever heard of?
Hi Sue!
Velveeta is the name brand of product here in the US that is pasteurized cheese product. It comes in a block that is usually 16 oz or 32 oz. It melts very well and is creamier than cheddar. I hope this helps! Sorry for the confusion!
