Tip
If you can buy some of the ingredients in jars rather than cans, do it. You will avoid the metallic taste that can sometimes go along with the cans.
Step 1
Add everything (other than the garnishes) to a slow cooker, including the whole chicken breasts.
Step 2
Cook the ingredients on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
Step 3
Remove the chicken. Shred the chicken using two forks and return it to the slow cooker.
Step 4
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish as desired.
