Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 pieces carrots, sliced
  • 3 pieces potatoes, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by dicing the onion, slicing the carrots, and dicing the potatoes. Mince the garlic cloves, and set everything aside.
Layering and Cooking
  1. Place the boneless chicken breasts at the bottom of your slow cooker. Sprinkle the diced onion, sliced carrots, and diced potatoes over the chicken.
  2. Sauté minced garlic in a small pan until fragrant, then add it to the slow cooker along with the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour the chicken broth over everything.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
Finishing Touch
  1. Once cooked, shred the chicken directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir in the heavy cream and fresh spinach. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the mixture is heated through.
  2. Ladle the soup into bowls, add your favorite toppings if desired, and enjoy this hearty masterpiece!

Notes

For lighter options, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream. Diced turkey breast can also be used instead of chicken. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to three months.
