How long does soup take to cook in slow cooker?

Most of my soup recipes take approximately 6 hours on low or 3 hours on high to cook in a slow cooker. If the soup does not include any meat or chicken (vegetables only), then you would want to reduce the cooking times.

Since the chicken is diced for this recipe, 6 hour on low works perfectly every time to create this delicious soup recipe.

I would follow the recipe exactly but after the cook time, I would remove the chicken from the slow cooker, dice or shred the cook chicken based on your preference and then mix in back into the soup prior to serving.

In addition you can use whatever type of chicken that you have for this recipe.

I have two favorite crock pots. One is the programmable 6 quart crock pot. It is awesome and very nice on the budget. I love that it will seal closed so you can transport it for parties and tailgates.

That means one more less pan to cook for most recipes. This has become my new favorite crock pot just because of that one feature!

Also, since I tend to be a little lazy in the kitchen (are you?), I highly suggest using crock pot liners to make cleaning the crock pot a breeze! These are a lifesaver for our family! Make sure you leave a comment and let us know your favorite slow cooker to use for your favorite recipes.
