SLOW COOKER CHICKEN AND LENTIL SOUP



Slow Cooker Chicken and Lentil Soup image

This is total cozy comfort food. I love letting the slow cooker do all the work! This soup packs in a ton of warm spices and the chicken is just so incredibly flavorful and tender. Serve with a dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt if desired.
