Directions
1Place chicken and vegetables in slow cooker bowl.
2Add stock powder and dry soup mix and fill with water to approx 2 inches below top of slow cooker inner bowl.
3Cook for 8hrs on low - this is a recipe that is great to leave on all day while you work.
4Before I serve I take the chicken out, remove the bones then return the chicken meat to the pot and stir.

Another great soup added to my menu! I didn’t have any frozen veggies, so I used what I had available (celery, carrot, potato – all finely diced). I used chicken drumsticks and the meat was so tender and my house smelt amazing! Best chicken soup recipe I’ve made with lots of flavour!

Great recipe. I used 1kg chicken breast and 500g drumsticks. The chicken didn’t dry out and it makes a wonderful thick soup which is mostly chicken so it’s a very filling meal.

Made this for lunch today as the toddler has a double ear infection and won’t eat anything at all!
I used left over roast chicken from Sunday, peas, corn and carrot along with the salad onion. I did more chicken stock then recommended as I love it and love a strong taste! Will definitely be a regular especially in flu season!

I do mine in this size and once I’ve added all the ingredients I still take the water up towards the top of the bowl. Bearing in mind I use a good serve of stock powder myself to keep it strong how we like it 🙂

Just wondering…another reviewer mentioned that for her large slow cooker, the amount of water put in diluted the flavour to a point. I have a 5.5 litre slow cooker – does anyone know if I should put a little less water in the bowl? It looks so delicious, can’t wait to try it.!
Thanks in anticipation 🙂

This soup was amazing OMG! I also added 2 diced potatoes. Have leftovers to freeze for lunches. Sure was a winner in this household.

I haven’t tried to do so as this is more a broth style soup 🙂
If you try it let me know

Could you put cream with it to make it a creamy chicken soup?

Made this last night using drumsticks.
I usually just chuck a bbq chook, deboned and shredded, in, but the depth of flavour using drumsticks was out of this world!!
I threw in garlic (about 3tsp minced) to try to eradicate germs, and I also threw in shredded cabbage and some diced potato (because my husband thinks potato is life! lol)
I added chili flakes to serve (again, to bust the germs)

I made this tonight after a friend suggested it and it was lovely. Served our family with a meal leftover to freeze. One thing I think I should have thought about though it that I have a large slow cooker and I think filling it up according to the directions might have been a little too much water, just dimmed the flavour a bit. Lovely, easy recipe.

Hi Mem, It wouldn’t have quite the same depth of flavour but you could 🙂

Just wondering if I could make this using leftover woolworths BBQ chicken? Would it still be worth putting in slow cooker? Have most of a BBQ chicken to use up! Thanks

This is one of the nicest soups i’ve ever made. Very, very easy & i added a handful of barley as well. I will definitely make this again

I find breast a little dry but if you preferred it then sure you could 🙂

Perhaps
It would depend on your cooker
But long and slow is ideal 🙂

Sure it just wouldn’t be as strong a flavour as I make the stock powder up to 🙂

Could you replace the stock powder/water with chicken broth? I am thinking of the tetra pack chicken consommé .

I have made something similar but uses cooked bbq chicken. But chicken wings and drumbsticks might be a cheaper way to go.

I made this today – tweaked it by using liquid chicken stock (it was out of date haha) plus 2 stock cubes, there were 2 chillis on the bench that didn’t get used in last nights meal so I threw them in, garlic and a handful of pearl barley. Oh and seasoned with salt and pepper.
I also used two packets of dry chicken noodle mix as the packets were 30g.
Then I went away to work all day and 12 hours later was divine. Very happy and will be making it a lot this winter.
