Ingredient Meat & Poultry Chicken Chicken Soup Slow-Cooker Spinach & Artichoke Chicken Soup 4.3 (8) 6 Reviews If you love spinach and artichokes, this is the perfect soup for you. The creamy base is packed with veggies and shredded chicken, which soaks up the broth while adding a boost of protein. Frozen artichoke hearts have less sodium than canned, but canned can be used in their place. Just be sure to give them a good rinse before adding them to the slow cooker.
