The weather is changing and it’s perfect timing for chicken, bacon and potato slow cooker soup. Fall and soup season is here! Tis the season to also take full advantage of my crock pot. This recipe combines a few of my favorites: chicken, bacon, and of course potatoes. I am a huge potato lover. Mashed, scalloped, baked, stuffed, I love them in all variations. I used red potatoes here because they are my favorite and have additional nutrients. This recipe makes a perfect, protein and veggies packed soup.

I picked up crinkle cut carrots to save time on washing and chopping them myself.
Trader Joe’s Nitrate-Free bacon is my favorite! I can enjoy bacon without the harmful additives found in most bacon.

So many wonderful ingredients in this soup. Particularly liking the addition of almond milk for a touch of creaminess.
