Classic Chicken Soup in the Slow Cooker

Classic Chicken Soup

Time for a recipe! Who doesn't love a bowl of chicken soup? This perfect comfort food can lift spirits and make you feel better. I always have this on hand in my freezer. I like to make a large batch in the slow cooker and then freeze in individual serving containers.

Ingredients:
2 large boneless organic chicken breasts
2 organic celery hearts, chopped
1 pkg organic baby carrots, chopped
1 med sweet onion, preferably organic, chopped finely
Parsley, Basil, Thyme, Rosemary - all preferably organic
1 Bay Leaf, preferably organic
2 boxes (8 cups) organic chicken broth

In a large slow cooker, combine all of the above ingredients. Season as desired with spices, salt, and pepper. I love spices in my soup so I am generous when shaking these into the mix! Cook on high for the first hour, then switch to low for the remaining time, cooking a total of 8-10 hours. 30 minutes prior to serving, remove the chicken breasts and shred using 2 forks. Place back into the slow cooker and stir to combine. Recover and cook on high the remaining time until ready to serve.

You can choose to serve this over cooked quinoa, rice, noodles, or just keep it plain. Enjoy!
