Chicken Alfredo Soup – Drizzle Me Skinny! Recipe enthusiasts

[ad_1]

When it’s a cold, windy, and snowy day, the strong gust sounds just make me thankful to be inside cozy and warm.  And what goes better with that feeling than a nice bowl of soup?! The crockpot makes cooking soup a dream- low prep work, and easy clean up. Chicken Alfredo Soup is a full meal on its own, but it’s also delicious with some breadsticks or crackers.

Chicken Alfredo Soup is made with shredded chicken. Rotisserie chicken works so well in this recipe because it adds a great depth of flavor. Shredded chicken is added to a lightened up base of light alfredo sauce, low fat cream of chicken soup, unsweetened almond milk, and chicken broth. Points-friendly bacon and a bit of parmesan cheese bring out the classic Alfredo flavor we’re going for.

DSCN3887Different ways to change up this recipe: 

  • You can use different meats if you prefer, but chicken is definitely the most classic “Alfredo” flavor. A chicken sausage, ground turkey, or even extra lean ground beef could work. 
  • If you can’t find light Alfredo sauce, try adding 1 block of fat free cream cheese to the soup instead. Cut it into cubes before adding it to the crockpot so that it melts better. 
  • If you’re short on time or don’t have bacon, instead of adding cooked bacon, add bacon bits to the top of the soup when you serve it. 

DSCN3929Tips and Tricks for Making Chicken Alfredo Soup: 

  • Chicken can be cooked in a crock pot ahead of time. I cook mine on high for 3-4 hours in a little broth. It will shred nicely.
  • You can substitute the almond milk with 1% skim milk but be mindful of the Weight Watchers points increasing. 
  • This soup freezes well. You can freeze individual portions in a silicone muffin tray. Pop them out when frozen, and place them in a freezer zip lock bag. This allows you to pull out 1 cup at a time, and thaw just what’s needed. 
  • Keep Chicken Alfredo Soup in the fridge for up to 7 days. If it’s very thick while you’re reheating it, add a little chicken broth to help thin it out. 
  • You can make this soup on the stove top. Just make sure to stir often so the creamy base doesn’t burn on the bottom.
