Most of the summer this year in New Jersey was dreary and rainy, so it’s kind of funny that I’m embracing rainy days now that it’s fall. It might have something to do with the fact that cold, rainy days are perfect for pulling out our favorite slow cooker soup recipes! Is there anything better than whipping up a big batch of soup on a chilly day?

What’s your favorite Crock Pot soup?

I love a good, hearty soup made with flavorful broth and a ton of veggies, like this Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Soup. I made this recipe for the very first time last year. It was a great way to clean out veggies I needed to use up in the fridge. You know how those recipes go! You chop up a bunch of ingredients and hope for the best. Thankfully, it turned out delicious and has became one of my new favorite slow cooker soup recipes!

Come home to easy comfort food!

This soup starts with bone-in chicken thighs. They get browned on both sides before being added to the slow cooker. I like to use chicken thighs in slow cooker recipes because they stay juicier than other cuts of chicken.

Browning the chicken thighs before adding them to the slow cooker is definitely recommended. That alone will add a deeper flavor to your broth, but so will the bones.

Halfway through cooking, I took the chicken thighs out of the slow cooker. I removed the skin (initially left on for added flavor) and shredded up the chicken. After cooking for a few hours, the chicken practically falls right off the bone!

During this time, I also removed the sprig of rosemary. Rosemary can be a little overpowering, so I took the sprig out to avoid overpowering all of the other delicious flavors that come together in this soup!

The broth itself is made with chicken broth, diced tomatoes, garlic, and onion. Then chunks of potatoes, green beans, baby spinach, and cannellini beans are added to bulk it up. Cook it on low for eight hours and serve with shredded Parmesan cheese on top for a filling and nutritious chicken soup!
