Ingredients

2 tbsp Unsalted butter (optional, for sautéing onions)

1 cup Onion, diced

1 lb Boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tsp Poultry seasoning

1/2 tsp Sea salt (plus more to taste)

1/4 tsp Black pepper

4 cups Chicken broth (reduced sodium)

1 medium Bay leaf

2 cups Frozen peas and carrots, diced

8 oz Cream cheese

1/2 tsp Xanthan gum (optional, for thicker soup)

Instructions

  • Sauté onions (optional): If you prefer extra flavor, sauté diced onions in butter over medium heat until softened (~5 minutes). Skip this step if you want to save time.

  • Assemble in the slow cooker: Add chicken breasts, sautéed onions (if using), poultry seasoning, salt, black pepper, chicken broth, and bay leaf to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

  • Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or high for 3–4 hours until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

  • Shred the chicken: Once cooked, remove chicken breasts and shred them with two forks before returning the chicken to the soup.

  • Add vegetables and cream cheese: Stir in frozen peas and carrots. Cut cream cheese into chunks and add it to the soup, stirring until melted and incorporated.

  • Thicken (optional): To thicken the soup, add xanthan gum and stir well. Let it cook for an additional 10–15 minutes on low to thicken.

  • Taste and adjust: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.

  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy this comforting, creamy dish.
