Simple Chicken Soup Made in Crock Pot

Pepe's's Note:

Just a very basic, surprisingly delicious recipe for basic chicken soup made in a crock pot. I even surprised myself!

• Total Time: 10 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 10 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1 (3 lb) roasting chickens
• 2 lbs carrots , baby
• 2 cups celery , with leaves, chopped roughly
• 2 large onions , chopped roughly
• 2 bay leaves
• 0.5 (28 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 cup frozen peas (use later in recipe)
• 1 tablespoon dehydrated dried parsley , approx. 1-Tblsp . (use later with peas)
• 2 cups cooked rice

Directions:

1. Layer in crock pot in this order:.
2. Starting at bottom:.
3. -Carrotts.
4. -Celery.
5. -Onions.
6. -Bay leaves.
7. -Chicken (whole).
8. -pour in broth till not quite half way up (save the rest for when you get home to add at the end) I kept in fridge but NOT in the can.
9. Put on high for 1-hr. before you leave for work, then LOW until you get home. I had it on low from 8:00am till 5:30pm and it was done perfectly!
10. Remove the chick and de-bone it, put chick back in soup w/rest of canned soup from refrigerator.
11. OH, THEN I ADDED SOME FROZEN PEAS AND DEHYDRATED PARSLEY FLAKES.
12. I had cooked rice but I would never put it into the soup, we just put it in our bowls and added the soup -- perfect and REALLY DELICIOUS!
