Instructions
Slow cooker
- Place all ingredients except for chicken in a slow cooker, stirring to blend. Lay chicken on top and push down slightly to cover with soup. Cook for 5 hours on low heat.
- Remove chicken from soup. Let chicken cool slightly, then shred. Stir back into the soup and continue to cook 1 hour.
Stove top

- Add cooked, diced chicken to soup and simmer until chicken is heated through.
