Hearty Chicken Soup - Slow Cooker recipe

anemoneflynn

My husbands homemade soup was the only thing that saved me yesterday - I was on track to go waaaaay over, with only 100 cals left for dinner! But I only ended up about 150 over because his soup is only 65 cals / cup. Yay!


2 chicken thighs, frozen with skin & bone
6 medium carrots
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup brown rice
1 cup sliced mushrooms
various spices to taste, oregano or basil work really well

Throw it all plus enough water to fill into a 5 quart crock pot for 6-8 hours, debone the chicken & throw the skins away, then salt & pepper your bowl to taste. Delish!

This recipe is a bit vague because my husband and I don't always track the spices and things we throw in, but the veggies and chicken give it an amazing flavor when they're cooked for so long.

Did you put this into the recipe maker on here to check the calories and details??

I put it in the recipe maker, yes, and I submitted it to the database - unfortunately it looks like they don't have that recipe database set up to search yet, just to submit. So I posted it here for people to see.

Chicken soup is a pretty simple, common dish for us to make, but I don't know if that's true for everyone, so I thought I'd share. :-)
