Chicken Potato Soup

4 slices bacon chopped
1 large onion, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast
2 cups sliced carrots
2 cup sliced celery
8 cups chicken broth
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/3 cup fresh chopped parsley
salt and pepper

Place a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until brown, then add in the onions and garlic. Saute for 3-4 minutes to soften. Pour the mixture into the crockpot.

Place the chicken breast on top of the onions. Add the sliced potatoes, carrots, celery, chicken broth, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.

Turn on low and cook for 8-12 hours, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are extremely soft. (Check the chicken at 7 hours. If it's cooked through, you can remove the chicken and refrigerate it until the potatoes are tender and breaking apart.)

Remove the chicken breast from the crockpot. Stir the potato soup vigorously to break up the potatoes and thicken the broth. (You can make it extra creamy by partially pureeing the soup with an immersion blender. Or place 1 1/2 cups of the soup in a regular blender, puree, then stir back into the soup.)

Shred or chop the chicken and add it back to the slow cooker along with fresh parsley. Stir well. Serve warm topped with low-fat cheese if desired!
