I'm Baaaaack...

OK, it's been a LOOOOONG time, so you would think this would be a witty, life-changing blog post, but alas (I love when I can use that word), it is not. Just a yummy non-holiday recipe. Is anyone completely sick of holiday food, or just me. Anyway, here goes. This is our dinner tonight...

This came from The Domestic Diva. It is her Creamy Crockpot Chicken and Potato Soup that she came up with by combining two recipes. I made a couple of very minor alterations

Creamy Crockpot Chicken and Potato Soup

Ingredients:
  • 4 chicken breasts (I used leftover turkey and just chopped it)
  • 1 1/2 c. chicken broth (depending on how thick you want the soup)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup
  • 8oz. reduced fat cream cheese, softened
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. poultry seasoning (I didn't use this since my turkey was smoked and already quite flavorful)
  • 1 small white onion, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 12-15 small red potatoes, cut into quarters

Directions:
Coat bottom of crock pot with cooking spray. Add carrots to bottom if using. Place chicken on top, and add remaining veggies. Mix together chicken stock, soup, and cream cheese and pour over top. Add seasonings.
Cook on Low for 5-6 hours. Shred chicken with forks before serving!
**I added my turkey 2/3 of the way through since it was already cooked and I just wanted the flavor.
