Ingredients for Crack Chicken Soup
I love love love this soup because it’s filled with all of my favorite yumminess like heavy cream, cheddar cheese, and bacon, but it also has spinach and green onions so there is a burst of freshness too. You probably already have most of these things at home in your pantry or in your freezer, so make it for dinner this week!

How to Make Slow Cooker Crack Chicken Soup
This recipe is so ridiculously easy and the payoff is waaaaaay worth the (minimal) effort. First, you’ll add the chicken, all the seasonings, chicken broth, and the cream cheese to your slow cooker. Cook that on low for about 6 hours, or until the chicken is done.
Next, fry up your bacon until it is crispy, and crumble it into little pieces. Go back to your soup and shred your chicken. I love to use a hand mixer to quickly and easily shred your chicken. Using a hand mixer is also great because it will break up any cream cheese chunks if there are still some left.
After you have all your chicken shredded, stir in the heavy cream, bacon, green, onions, and cheese, and heat for another 10 minutes on high. Serve up and top with more cheese and bacon, if you’d like. Taste it and you’ll understand why it’s called Crack Chicken Soup!
