There is nothing better than a slow cooker on a busy day. This slow cooker hearty chicken soup is one of our family favorites. It uses up leftovers from weekly roasted chicken meal. Don’t let the simplicity of this recipe fool you, it is full of flavor and hearty making it a fully satisfying meal in a bowl.

I make my own homemade broth which I keep in jars in the fridge making it easy to have on hand. I also love to add a drop of thyme essential oil.

This is something I want to make soon. The cold weather is coming soon and so are colds. This would be great if you had a cold.

I love to make my own Chicken broth to flavor any Chicken soup I make. I have had a slow cooker for years but have never tried it. I want to make meals in it as it would make meal preparation easier on some days. I think your Slow Cooker Chicken Soup would be a good place to start. I also like to put frozen peas and carrots in my soups-makes it i easier to add more vegetables. Thank you,. Jody, for this recipe.
