Notes

*It is possible to cook this soup longer (8-10 hours). ย However, the longer the soup cooks, the drier the chicken will become. ย This soup is best cooked on low for 5-6 hours. ย Cooking times can vary between different slow cookers. ย Be sure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
