Slow Cooker Chicken Soup

Say hello to the warmest, tastiest most perfect home cooked bowl of chicken soup. It’s full of colourful veggies, good for us protein, and is sure to take care of just about any cold that winter throws your way!

Super healthy, packed full of fibre, Vitamin C, Collagen and B Vitamins, this soup will boost your immune system affected by the cold weather! I made this in a Slow Cooker as it extracts all the gut healing properties out of the chicken bones and gives it so much flavour! You can even freeze some to take to work for an easy lunch idea!
