Slow-Cooker Creamy Chicken & Potato Soup

A warm and creamy soup with very minimal effort is our ideal dinner. Prep everything in the morning and then come home at night to this delightful soup that will please everyone. No need to sear or use any other skillet. It's hearty and filling and just the thing you need to life up your spirits. The slow cooker makes the chicken completely fall apart while making the potatoes creamy and tender. Use your favorite curry powder to spice up the dish and make it even more comforting. If you aren’t a fan of kale, you can always use spinach or Swiss chard instead!
