#Sunday Stew for October 6th, 2024 - Mock Chicken Soup Part A

Jen and I are down with some sort of cold. So, I am rehashing last week's crockpot meal, this time as a soup. The recipe is 90% the same as my Chicken and Potato Stew: 

2 pounds of chicken breasts, whole
1.5 lbs of baby yellow potatoes
1 lb of matchstick carrots
1 lb of peas, frozen
1 lb of corn, frozen
2 stalks of celery, chopped
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
16 oz of chicken stock
3 chicken bouillon cubes
3 vegetable bouillon cubes
1 tsp. of white pepper
Salt to taste

Line the bottom of the crockpot with your chicken. I layer the carrots, onion, corn, and celery on top. I add the bouillon cubes, garlic, salt, and pepper next. The chicken stock is poured over everything, covering them, and setting the crockpot high.

Cook for 4 hours then add the corn and turn it down to low. Cook for 2-3 more hours. With an hour to go, add the frozen peas. I shread the chicken at this point and give everything a good stir.

This is a good time to start the noodles. I use extra wide egg noodles. I cook them separately because they simply won't fit in my crockpot. I ladle them out into bowls and put the mock chicken soup over them. 


Do you know why Fiver doesn't like this recipe? Rabbits can eat carrots, but they are too high in sugar, fiber, and other stuff rabbits don't really like. They will happily eat the green carrot tops, which is a disaster for farmers and gardeners. Rabbits will nibble your carrots down to the orange bits and stop. 

Poor Fiver.
