This is another comforting soup recipe I like to make in the slow cooker. Recipe is adapted from Southern Living. Sometimes I like to add some cooked crispy bacon to the crock pot during the last few minutes.

I love this recipe in my slow cooker, especially since there is minimal prep. No bacon to fry, so the slow cooker is the only dish you will get dirty. If you have dry ranch mix on hand, I have really enjoyed this variation!
