My homemade chicken potato soup is a one-pot wonder that my family loves during the cooler months. The potatoes are tender, and the chicken shreds perfectly! Watch the video below to see how I make it in my kitchen!
Add the butter to a Dutch oven, soup pot, or deep pan. Once melted, add the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy.
Add in the potatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the carrots and celery and cook for 4-5 minutes, until tender.
Add the chicken broth, chicken breasts, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the chicken is fully cooked.
