Crock Pot Chicken Soup Recipe
Chicken soup has to be the most popular soup people make and is often made when we don't feel very well especially with a cold or flu. Making a traditional soup means doing it the old fashioned way so that is what I have done here. A note though, if you are making it for someone with a sore throat think about sieving or blending the vegetables to make it easier to swallow for them but still getting the goodness of the soup.
This crock pot chicken soup recipe is delicious and good for you so enjoy all the time not just when you are sick or feeling down. You can freeze this soup very easily as well so you can make enough for another time or for your work day lunch. Here is the recipe:
Crock Pot Chicken Soup
1 small chicken (or 1 kg chicken carcass or 6 drumsticks)
2 liters of water (or whatever you need to cover the chicken in the pot)* *
1 teas salt sprinkle of pepper 1 onion 1 large carrot ( I like lots of carrot so I used 2 medium as you can see in the image)
1 stalk celery with leaves still on bouquet garni - make with 1 bay leaf, 4 sprigs of parsley, 1 sprig thyme- tie together with some string, this is taken out when the soup is cooked extra chopped parsley noodles (optional)
Chop the onion, celery and carrot finely. Put the chicken and vegetables into the crock pot and cover with the water. Cook on low for 6 hours (8 hours for the whole chicken). Take the chicken out and the bouquet garni. If you want to sieve the vegetables do that now. Remove the chicken from the bones and add to the soup. Cool the soup overnight and skim off any fat from the top. You can add noodles if you like, reheat and serve. Sprinkle with the extra parsley just before serving.
That was a fairly easy crock pot chicken soup recipe really. You don't have to cool the soup overnight if you don't want to but I recommend it and the flavors will be better as well.
** You can add some chicken stock powder if you like the taste a little stronger

I have a question. Years ago I used a crock pot to cook my meals while working. Now I use a slow cooker which is a little different. When I used a crock pot and the recipe called for meat and onions my dish always came out with a can taste. Are the new crock pots better and do they prevent this. I especially had this problem with beef and pork.

Martha the new ones are different and cook a bit faster than the old ones from the 70s. I still have one of those and have used it continuously for 30 odd years. Now you don’t appliances like that anymore.
They used to suggest for some brands that you fill it with water and cook on high for an hour initially so you wouldn’t get the metal taste. I never had that problem with mine though so I can’t vouch for it. I haven’t heard the new ones having that problem though.
This post looks yummy. Thank you!
