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 afterward! 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 3 freestyle smart points each.
Creamy chicken and bacon alfredo soup
3-4PP, 3 SP blue & purple, 4SP green per serving
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 10 oz cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can 284ml low fat cream of chicken soup
- 3/4 cup light alfredo sauce
- 1 cup almond milk can substitute with 1% but be mindful of points increasing
- 6 slices of cooked bacon I use Oscar Mayer center cut to keep points low
- 2 Tbsp finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 glove garlic diced
Instructions
- Cook your slices of bacon on stove top, drain and crumble bacon.
- Plug in crock pot and set to high.
- Pour in your broth and cream of chicken soup and stir well.
- Add in your chicken, alfredo sauce, milk, cheese and diced garlic and stir well.
- Mix in your crumbled bacon.
- Leave on high for 30 minutes, then turn to low and simmer for 1.5 hours.
- Makes 6-1 cup servings
- *Chicken can be cooked in crock pot ahead of time, I cook mine on high for 3-4 hours in a little broth, it will shred nicely.

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
Hi Kate, I’m looking forward to trying this soup this weekend. I’m making meals for me on WW when the family has something I don’t want to eat. Have you ever tried to freeze this soup in individual serving sizes. Thank you
Hi Lori, no I did not freeze it but it should freeze fine 🙂

Is 1cup a serving
Yes 🙂
This looks great! Could you make on the stovetop in a shorter amount of time? Don’t have time to leave in the crockpot for that long after work, buts it not long enough to put in th crockpot before work! Thanks!
Hi Erin, I think it can be made on the stove top.
Potatoes? Don’t see potatoes in the recipe.
I’m not sure what you are asking?? There are no potatoes in this soup

Hi Erin, I think it can be made on the stove top, just be sure the potatoes are cooked . That is what I was commenting on.
Oh ok, sorry I must of mistakenly replied to the wrong comment on a different post .. it happens
