Lemon Chicken Soup (Slow Cooker)

Bright, zesty, and exactly what you want when dinner needs to feel a little special without extra work. The slow cooker does the heavy lifting with tender chicken, veggies, herbs, and broth, then orzo goes in near the end to soak up all that goodness. A hit of lemon zest and fresh juice wakes everything up, giving you a fresh, vibrant bowl. So good!

Tuscan Chicken Soup 

This one was inspired by the marry me chicken trend that’s been all over TikTok! Golden, sautéed chicken and classic aromatics come together with sun-dried tomatoes, white beans, pasta, and herbs. A swirl of sour cream and Parmesan at the end turns the broth creamy and velvety without weighing it down.

Best Ever Classic Chicken Noodle Soup

A big reader favorite here at SV! Slow-cooked until the chicken is fall-apart tender and the veggies melt right into the broth, this one keeps things simple in the best way. The noodles get stirred in at the end so they stay perfectly slurp-able instead of mushy. Everyone needs this soup in their weeknight rotation! 

Chicken Broccoli & Potato Soup

A simple weeknight favorite. Tender chicken simmers in a homemade broth with carrots, leek, and celery, building that slow, savory flavor from the start. Buttery potatoes get blended in for a silky, comforting texture that feels extra cozy without being fussy. A spoonful of sour cream and a shower of Parmesan at the end bring just the right rich finish.

Slow Cooker Chicken Meatball & Veggie Soup

Lean ground chicken gets rolled into tender little meatballs that simmer right in a light, savory broth. It’s loaded with veggies, so every spoonful feels hearty without being heavy. Simple, brothy, and full of goodness. Perfect if you’re looking for a lighter, healthier soup that still tastes amazing. 

Thai Coconut Chicken Soup

This one was inspired by my favorite takeout order, and it’s so good for those nights when you’re craving something wholesome and good for you that also feels like a treat. It’s super fresh and vibrant, and will leave you feeling amazing.

Nothing beats a big pot of creamy chicken noodle soup when everyone needs a little extra comfort. It’s the kind of classic you make for cozy nights, busy weeks, or when someone in the house is under the weather. Warm, hearty, and made to feed a family, it’s the bowl that always feels like home!

White Lasagna Chicken Soup

It’s wholesome enough for a family dinner but still feels a little special in a big, steamy bowl. Around my table, even the pickiest eaters don’t leave a drop behind!

Slow Cooked White Chicken Chili Soup 

Somewhere between a soup and a stew, this white chicken chili is thick, hearty, and seriously satisfying. Tender shredded chicken, soft beans, and sweet pops of corn swim in a creamy, brothy base with just enough kick from green chiles and warm seasonings. It’s the kind of bowl that sticks to your ribs in the best way!

Carrots, celery, onion, and garlic simmer together with tender chicken and nutty wild rice in the creamiest, coziest broth. It’s hearty without feeling too heavy. Absolute cold-night winner!

Chicken Pot Pie Soup

It honestly doesn’t get much cozier than chicken pot pie in soup form! Take my classic pot pie soup recipe, and simply add more broth until it reaches your desired consistency. Biscuits are optional, but I highly recommend them! 

Chicken Stew
