Crock Pot- Chicken Soup

A great recipe for sick people like Matt and me! We used all our non existant energy to cut some veggies and throw some chicken in the crock pot. After that we slept for a good 5/6 hours and our dinner was ready.

INGREDIENTS
2-3 Quartered Chicken Thighs/Legs
Potatoes
Carrots
Celery
Half an Onion
Chicken Bouillon
Seasonings (salt, pepper, adobe, garlic powder, etc)

STEP 1
Put the chicken in with enough water to cover them. Add the chicken bouillon.

STEP 2
Cut veggies. Add as much or as less as you wish.

STEP 3
Put on high and take a nap.

STEP 4
Dig in :)


ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS
- Add rice or noodles for a more filling meal.
- Usually when we make this, we put it on high until it boils, and then we simmer on low overnight, but since we were hungry we put it on high the whole time to speed up the process.
- For an Asian flair, substitute carrots and celery with bok choy and shiitake mushrooms and add ginger, lemon grass, and soy sauce. Add rice noodles too!

Matt and I are going to try Ethopian food for the first time this week! Watch for a new post on our new food experience!

  2. Soup is good at any day especially today in Seattle! It's so cold and been raining. Cockpot creates a great flavor of soup. This sounds perfect!
