Method
Step 1
Chop the vegetables into small chunks then add everything to the slow cooker / crockpot, if I’ve time I’ll add the chicken in for the last hour or two but if you don’t it’s fine to add from the start it just falls apart and becomes stringy
Step 2
Cook the vegetable soup on high for 3 hours or low for 5. When done, serve with crusty bread and enjoy!
