When it’s a cold, windy, and snowy day, the strong gust sounds just make me thankful to be inside cozy and warm. And what goes better with that feeling than a nice bowl of soup?! The crockpot makes cooking soup a dream- low prep work, and easy clean up. Chicken Alfredo Soup is a full meal on its own, but it’s also delicious with some breadsticks or crackers.
Chicken Alfredo Soup is made with shredded chicken. Rotisserie chicken works so well in this recipe because it adds a great depth of flavor. Shredded chicken is added to a lightened up base of light alfredo sauce, low fat cream of chicken soup, unsweetened almond milk, and chicken broth. Points-friendly bacon and a bit of parmesan cheese bring out the classic Alfredo flavor we’re going for.

Three reasons why you need to make this recipe!
Cheese, Chicken, and Bacon are the perfect pairing.
When these three basic ingredients are combined into one dish, you get a world of flavor that elevates any meal.
You get to enjoy a “creamy” soup without loading up on calories.
Normally a cream based soup, like potato soup or cheddar broccoli soup is high in fat and calories. One cup of this Chicken Alfredo Soup is only 142 calories and 4 Weight Watchers Points.

Different ways to change up this recipe:
- You can use different meats if you prefer, but chicken is definitely the most classic “Alfredo” flavor. A chicken sausage, ground turkey, or even extra lean ground beef could work.
- If you can’t find light Alfredo sauce, try adding 1 block of fat free cream cheese to the soup instead. Cut it into cubes before adding it to the crockpot so that it melts better.
- If you’re short on time or don’t have bacon, instead of adding cooked bacon, add bacon bits to the top of the soup when you serve it.
Tips and Tricks for Making Chicken Alfredo Soup:
- Chicken can be cooked in a crock pot ahead of time. I cook mine on high for 3-4 hours in a little broth. It will shred nicely.
- You can substitute the almond milk with 1% skim milk but be mindful of the Weight Watchers points increasing.
- This soup freezes well. You can freeze individual portions in a silicone muffin tray. Pop them out when frozen, and place them in a freezer zip lock bag. This allows you to pull out 1 cup at a time, and thaw just what’s needed.
- Keep Chicken Alfredo Soup in the fridge for up to 7 days. If it’s very thick while you’re reheating it, add a little chicken broth to help thin it out.
- You can make this soup on the stove top. Just make sure to stir often so the creamy base doesn't burn on the bottom.

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!!!!
Drizzle
Hi Carol, thank you so much for your kind works.. messages like these make all the hard work worth it 🙂
Wendi
I'm making the soup right now and it isn't thickening up and I'm worried I did something wrong. Is yours thick?
Drizzle
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
Wendi
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!
Drizzle
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 🙂
Marie-Claude
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!
Drizzle
Your very welcome, I hope you enjoy it!! 🙂
Katie
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!
Drizzle
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 🙂
Tasia
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?
Drizzle
Hi there, probably not.. I think you would be ok to give it the same point value 🙂
Missy
We tried this recip for dinner last week. I had enough points to pour it over whole wheat pasta. It was great!
Drizzle
Oh that sounds like an awesome idea 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!!
Michelle
Could I use fat free half and half instead of almond milk?
Drizzle
I think that would be ok, it might even make it a bit more creamier 🙂
Kathy Irwin
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
Drizzle
Hi Lori, no I did not freeze it but it should freeze fine 🙂
Julie
Is 1cup a serving
Drizzle
Yes 🙂
Erin
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!
Drizzle
Hi Erin, I think it can be made on the stove top.
Raesan Welch
Potatoes? Don't see potatoes in the recipe.
Drizzle
I'm not sure what you are asking?? There are no potatoes in this soup
