It was a cold windy and snowy day, the strong gust sounds just made me thankful to be inside cozy and warm.. and what goes better with that feeling than a nice bowl of soup 🙂 I love making soup in the crock pot, it makes everything so easy and a quick clean up afterwards! I wanted a soup that felt like a good meal..so I made this delicious creamy chicken alfredo soup and it does not disappoint! Makes 6-1 cup servings at only 4 smart points each.

HI Kate! This soup looks awesome, I can’t wait to try it! I wanted to thank you for all your hard work, planning, prepping, cooking and of course tasting and sharing with those of us who are on this journey! We met on IG. I’m not sure how I found you but, I’m so glad I did!!!!
Hi Carol, thank you so much for your kind works.. messages like these make all the hard work worth it 🙂
I’m making the soup right now and it isn’t thickening up and I’m worried I did something wrong. Is yours thick?
Hi, the soup doesn’t thicken as it’s cooking.. It should not be super runny but won’t be a thick soup either.. Hope you enjoyed it
Thanks I thickened it up with some flour and water. It was a huge hit with my husband and son. It helped my husband thaw out after snow blowing out driveway! Love your recipes! I made 6 or 7 things already!
Yay.. glad it was a hit.. sorry you got so much snow.. Here in Ontario, Canada we got none which is so weird lol..
Happy to hear you’ve enjoyed so many recipes 🙂
Thank you so much Kate for all these recipes… This is exactly the boost I needed to help me on my WW journey!! I’ll try your recipe this weekend since I haven’t all of the ingredients!
Your very welcome, I hope you enjoy it!! 🙂
Hi! Love your blog! I just joined WW and can’t wait to make your recipes. I was wondering…what Alfredo brands are the best to buy for this recipe? Thank you!
Hi, Thank you for your kind words.. Depends where you live, I’m in Canada and buy a President choice brand, I would just look for a “light” calorie reduced brand .. Good luck on your journey 🙂
What if I make my own Alfredo sauce? I can’t seem to ever find a good tasting sauce from a jar here! I’m in that US. I don’t like bottled alfredo. Do you think it will add many more points?
Hi there, probably not.. I think you would be ok to give it the same point value 🙂
We tried this recip for dinner last week. I had enough points to pour it over whole wheat pasta. It was great!
Oh that sounds like an awesome idea 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!!
Could I use fat free half and half instead of almond milk?
I think that would be ok, it might even make it a bit more creamier 🙂
Today, May 29th, it is cold and rainy here in northern NY. I want a comfort soup that was low in points , and WOW did this do the trick. Delious????
Thanks
