Equipment

crockpot

Ingredients

14.5 oz cream of chicken
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup broccoli spears chop, if desired
½ cup matchstick carrots
15 oz diced potatoes canned (drain)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional

¼ cup sour cream
ranch seasoning to taste

Serve with

sour dough bread

Instructions

Add ingredients to crockpot. Add cream of chicken, chicken broth, broccoli, carrots, and diced potatoes to your crockpot and stir.
Cook. Set to high and cook for 2 hours or set to low for 4 hours. Stir.
Add cheese and sour cream. Stir in cheese, sour cream and seasonings, if desired, then spoon into bowls and serve.

Notes

Using canned potato will give you the shortest cook time.
Frozen diced potatoes and hash browns also work. You will need to let them simmer longer to soften.
Use an immersion blender to puree the potatoes, if desired.
Stir sour cream into the soup at the end, right before serving for a more tangy flavor. This is totally optional.
If you prefer to make your own cream of chicken, you can easily do this by using my white sauce recipe and then adding chicken bullion to taste.
To season your soup: I recommend garlic and onion powder or ranch seasoning to taste.
