Slow cooker chicken soup

You can find this delicious slow cooker chicken soup recipe on page 142 of The Ultimate Slow Cooker Cookbook. Warm and comforting, this easy slow cooker chicken soup is perfect for cold winter days. This is my go-to recipe if I’m feeling a little under the weather. There’s something about chicken soup that is just so comforting. It also freezes well, so you can have a little pick-me-up to hand for whenever you need it. This recipe could not be easier, just pop the ingredients for this chicken soup into the slow cooker in the morning, and it will be ready by dinner time.

Method

Put all your ingredients, apart from the sweetcorn, into your slow cooker, then season and stir well. Cook on low for around 7 hours.

After 7 hours, add the sweetcorn and cook for a further hour, again on low.
