Slow Cooker Chicken and Leek Soup- an easy-to-make, filling, slow cooker chicken soup with leeks and garlic. Perfect for making in large batches and freezing.
Jump to Recipe Soups are one of my favourite things to make in the slow cooker. I love throwing all the ingredients in and leaving them, without worrying about mess on the hob, boil over, boiling dry etc.
This chicken and leek soup is so filling for a cold day, and has so much flavour, that it has rocketed to the top of my favourite soups list. It's great for when you have a couple of spare chicken breasts left in a pack. Just add potato, garlic, onion and leek and let the magic happen!

Top Tips
- Make sure you chop the chicken into chunks as per recipe. If you leave them whole, they will need shredding afterwards; an extra step you don't need.
- When you're blending the soup, really make sure you have blitzed it smooth. Small pieces of chicken left in can give it a pasty texture.
- If you're making a big batch to freeze, I recommend the microwavable soup cups. Defrost and eat within 3 months.
