Pure soul food! What could be more comforting than a bowl of hot chicken soup on a wet, cold and rainy night? This simple chicken soup takes about 10 minutes to prepare. All you have to do is chop up all the ingredients, add them into a slow cooker, then walk away for 8 hours! A key ingredient in this soup is the raw apple cider vinegar, as it helps to draw out essential minerals from the chicken bones, helping to make this soup mineral rich. Bone broth along with the garlic, turmeric, veggies, and protein are key ingredients to help keep your immune system strong during the cooler months.

Ingredients:

 1 whole organic or free range chicken
 5 cups carrots, chopped
 5 cups celery or courgettes, chopped
 1 large white onion, diced
 4 garlic cloves, diced
 ⅓ fresh parsley, finely chopped
 6 cups filtered water
 2 tbsp raw apple cider vinegar
 1 tsp sea salt
 ½ tsp black pepper
 2 tsp turmeric
 1 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

Method:

1

Place chicken in the middle of a slow cooker, and add in all the remaining ingredients.

2

Set on low for 8 hours.

3

Once finished, remove the chicken and shred it from the bone.

4

Place chicken back into the slow cooker and mix ingredients together. Using a ladle pour soup into bowls and enjoy!

5

NOTE: this soup can be made in a large pot, simply add all ingredients into a large pot, cover the pot and let it simmer on the stove on low-medium heat for 8 hours.

    How can I make this without a slow cooker?

      You can put all ingredients into a large soup pot and boil it on medium for 1 hour, or if you’re at home to look after it, on a low heat for 4-6 hours.

    Do you use raw chicken for this recipe or a store bought one?

    If I make this & freeze it would I just need to defrost & bring it to boiling point for it to be ready/safely reheated to eat?
