👩🍳 Pro Tips for Slow Cooker Success
- Use Chicken Thighs for Extra Tenderness – They have more flavor and won’t dry out as easily.
- For a Thicker Soup, Use Mashed Potatoes – Stir in ½ cup of mashed potatoes instead of flour for natural thickness.
- Short on Time? Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken and add it in the last 30 minutes.
- Make It Ahead – This soup tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
