This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great meal to freeze for later.

I found that the soup was a bit too thick. I would recommend adding more broth next time.

The chicken cacciatore soup was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt next time.

I love how easy this soup is to make. I was able to throw it all in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work.

This chicken cacciatore soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I will definitely be making this again.
