I’ve made this four times already and just tried it again with the extra can of soup and water. I loved the extra sauce! Dipped bread in it and called it dinner!
Wow, so glad you’re enjoying this creamy garlic chicken soup on a regular basis!

Thanks for not judging the recipe too quick and so glad it was a surprise delight for you!
May I use an 8 quart slow cooker? Do I need to make any adjustments?
Thanks
