Steve's Country Crock Chicken Soup

1 onion, chopped

3 carrots, diced

3 celery stalks, diced

1/2 tsp pepper

1/2 tsp basil

1/2 tsp thyme

3 tbs parsley flakes

1 package frozen peas (about 10 oz.)

4 cups of chicken stock or water

1 cup of noodles

2 chicken breasts with bone on

 

1) Put everything in the Crock pot EXCEPT the noodles

2)  Cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or High for 4 to 6 hours

3)  1 Hour before it's done, remove the chicken and then remove the meat from the bones and return meat to the Crockpot; then add the noodles.

 

If you like carbs, enjoy with a bread bowl or bread sticks.  Also, if you don't need the carbs, not adding the noodles makes a great chicken soup.

Steve's Crockpot Chicken & Rice

This is really good and practically all of the soups are absorbed by the chicken and rice.

3 or 4 large chicken breasts

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of celery soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

(I use the Campbell's Healthy Request soups...low fat)

3 carrots, chopped

3 celery stalks, chopped

1 cup brown Minute Rice (can use white if wanted)

Add any seasonings you like---I add 1 tsp of pepper, 1 tsp of cilantro and 1 tsp of parsley.

 

1)  Pour the 3 soups into the Crockpot

2)  Pour the rice on top of the soups

3)  Place the chicken breasts on top of the rice

4)  Pour the carrots and celery in

 

Cook on High for 3 hours or on Low for 4-5 hours.

 

The soups are high on sodium so salt isn't really needed in the cooking.
