Slow Cooker Chicken Soup



During Seattle's long winters, nothing restores your will to live like a bowl of homemade chicken soup.  Slow cookers make everything amazingly easy and amazingly delicious.  This recipe is incredibly simple.


Clean a whole chicken and place it in the slow cooker.  Throw in some veggies, spices, and chicken broth, and voila!


After 4 short hours on high, the chicken will just melt right off the bone.  Careful shredding that hot chicken, though.

Adjustments/Substitutions

Instead of using dried garlic, I used fresh garlic because it was all I had on hand.  No great tragedy there!  Two of the guys I shared this dish with loved it even more once they added some Sriracha.

Next Time...

This soup is a classic, so I would be happy making it again the exact same way.  However, maybe adding some leeks in the future could be a fun twist.
