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.

Do you use raw chicken for this recipe or a store bought one?
Raw chicken
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?
Yes that’s correct 🙂
