SLOW COOKER Shredded Chicken and White Bean Soup is packed with healthy, hearty vegetables which is going to warm up your dinner table! This recipe is easy to make – throw all the ingredients in your crock pot for 8 hours and it’s ready! Even better – this meal is economical and doesn’t cost much to make! We love this as a Fall and Winter meal!
This Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken and White Bean Soup warms my heart physically and emotionally. It’s everything a comforting Winter time soup should be – easy to make, makes the house smell great, is filling and makes me feel warm.
On the emotional side it makes me happy because it is filled with vegetables from our Summer garden. Besides the carrots and celery we are using our canned stewed tomatoes which I can’t get enough of. We canned so many of these tomatoes I lost track of how many.
Then we add dry white beans which are so easy to grow and store perfectly. Next year I’m going to grow twice the amount of white beans just because of this soup! Plus aren’t white beans just gorgeous? For gardeners, we grow Kenearly Yellow Eye variety beans. I love the dry beans in this recipe because they don’t require a overnight soak (I always forget to do that!).
This recipe post is going to be short since this soup is no nonsense and says enough once you take a bite. Throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker, turn it on low for 8 hours and then enjoy a big bowl (or two!) of Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken and White Bean Soup!
If you have leftovers, it makes a great meal the next day, or you can freeze it. Enjoy this Slow Cooker Shredded Chicken and White Bean Soup friends!

Hi! This sounds delish!! Can I use canned beans instead? I don’t have dry beans on hand. TIA!! 🙂
Pamela says
Hey Amanda, you can, they might just get a little softer compared to dry beans. I’d use (3) 15 ounce cans. Enjoy the soup!
BRISCOE says

I use dried beans a lot in my cooking, but I can honestly say I’ve never thought to grow my own. My yard is tiny though and so is my veggie garden.
Hope says
This looks like the perfect comfort food – yum!
Cakespy says
This is the most cozy dish I could imagine! I love white bean chili (which sometimes has chicken in it) so it’s pretty sound logic that I’m going to love this soup.
Karen (Back Road Journal) says
This would be a good soup with store bought ingredients but it has to be a great soup with veggies from your garden.
Kelsie | the itsy-bitsy kitchen says
I’m so jealous that you can cook with veggies from your own garden! I can’t make anything but weeds and cacti grow. . .This soup looks absolutely fabulous!
Marta @ What should I eat for breakfast today says
I need to finally buy a slow cooker. How come I don’t have it! The soup looks delicious.
