Crockpot Chicken Soup |
With all the flu bugs and stuff, I thought a quick and easy chicken soup recipe would be good. I have been using it because I have a new baby and getting supper on the table quickly sometimes can be hard. I love the crockpot because you can put things in when you first get up in the morning and they cook all day. The house smells just YUMMY! I also use turkey in this recipe too.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds bony chicken pieces (I also use chicken thighs because they aren't too expensive)
- 3 stalks celery with leaves, cut up
- 2 carrots, cut up
- 1 large onion, cut up
- 2 sprigs parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, sage, or basil, crushed
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 4 cups cold water
- 1 chicken bouillon
Directions
In a 3 1/2 or 4 quart electric crockpot combine chicken pieces; celery; carrots; onion;parsley; salt;thyme,sage, or basil; pepper; bay leaves; bouillon cube and 4 cups of water. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours. Remove chicken, debone, cut up into pieces and return to crockpot.

This sounds delish!!! But....can you use chicken breast instead? My children would rather white meat.
