Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese
  • 1 (0.7-oz) package Italian Dressing Mix
  • 1 (10 to 12-oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
  • 1 (13.75-oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 12-oz sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 4 cups chicken broth


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the chicken breasts, cream cheese packages, Italian dressing mix, thawed and drained spinach, chopped artichoke hearts, sliced mushrooms, and chicken broth together in a 6-quart slow cooker. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  2. Cook Soup: Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW setting for 6 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and the chicken to become tender.
  3. Shred Chicken: Once cooking is complete, remove the chicken breasts carefully from the slow cooker. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Finish Soup: Return the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker and stir well to incorporate the chicken evenly throughout the soup. The cream cheese will have melted, creating a creamy broth.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm. This soup pairs well with a side salad or low-carb bread for a complete meal.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of cream cheese for a thicker or lighter soup.
  • Make sure to fully thaw and drain the spinach to avoid watery soup.
  • Feel free to add other low-carb vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers for added nutrition and flavor.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat nicely on the stovetop or microwave.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, substitute cream cheese with a suitable plant-based cream cheese.
