@livingwellbynicki: Replying to @ItsJacyona|NS Anti-Inflammatory Slow Cooker Chicken Soup 🥣 Ingredients * ½ whole chicken * 4 chicken drumsticks * 2 large leeks, cleaned well and sliced (white and light green parts) * 3 celery stalks, chopped * 3 large carrots, sliced * 8 oz mushrooms, sliced * 3 ears fresh corn on the cob, cut in half * 4 scallions, sliced * 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated * 4 garlic cloves, minced * 8 cups water (or enough to cover the chicken) Seasonings * 1 tsp sea salt (adjust to taste) * ½ tsp black pepper * 1 tsp turmeric * 1 tsp paprika * 1 tsp garlic powder * ½ tsp onion powder * 1 tsp dried thyme * ½ tsp dried oregano * 1 bay leaf To Finish * ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped * ½ tsp chicken bullion Directions 1. Place the ½ chicken and 4 drumsticks in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil for 15 minutes to remove impurities. Drain the water, rinse the chicken if desired, and set aside. 2. Transfer the chicken to your slow cooker. 3. Add the leeks, celery, carrots, mushrooms, scallions, ginger, garlic and bullion 4. Sprinkle in all the seasonings and add the bay leaf. 5. Pour in the chicken broth until the ingredients are just covered. 6. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4–5 hours). 7. I added the corn on the cob the 7-hour mark so it doesn't get too soft. 8. Stir in the fresh parsley and finish with the juice of ½ lemon. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed before serving. Why I Pre-Boil the Chicken Boiling the chicken for 15 minutes before slow cooking helps remove blood, bone fragments, and other impurities that can create foam in the broth. This results in a cleaner, clearer, and better-tasting soup. Why I Use Corn on the Cob As it slowly cooks, the cob releases natural sweetness and extra flavor into the broth, creating a richer, more flavorful soup than using corn kernels alone. This soup is packed with protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and anti-inflammatory herbs and spices, making it a nourishing meal any time of year. #antiinflammatory #souptok #soupseason #guthealthmatters
