Slow Cooker Lemon Chicken Soup
Wren Ilvarsonn
This is a great soup to come home to in the
slow cooker. Any crusty bread goes really
well with it. I especially like to dip a piece of
buttered baguette into this soup. You can
easily add other vegetables as well as mix in
cooked rice or cooked pasta. A friend serves
this soup with Zoodles! This soup freezes well
for a quick meal on a hectic day.
Yields: 7-8 servings
Ingredients
Oil for sautéing vegetables
4 stalks Celery, chopped small
1 Onion, chopped small
