Slow Cooker Chicken and Potato Soup
Have you ever settled on a meal only to change the protein or another ingredient but you didn’t consider the whole meal in that change? I did that with this soup. I was basing this recipe off of a beef soup I discovered in some random cookbook and was all prepared for beef but instead, I thawed chicken. That left me with a poultry protein and a beef broth. Oops. I’m pleading pregnancy brain. I really can’t believe I did that and yet I can.
Thankfully, despite my mistake, the soup turned delicious. I remade it later, the proper way with chicken meat and chicken broth and loved it even more.
I love slow cooker meals. They make life on chaotic days seem just a tad less stressful.
