hi everyone welcome back to my kitchen I'm really excited today because I'm showing you one of my signature recipes slow cooker chicken soup I'm just gonna give you a little bit of background on this and why I love it so much and why I make it all year round as you can see it's summertime in London and I'm making chicken soup I got into making chicken soup back in 2009 when I was trying to help my ulcerative colitis I had to write a book called breaking the vicious cycle by Ellen gato and her daughter she wrote this book and she held her daughter with food and one of the first recipes one can digest when you have these kind of conditions is chicken soup so I removed all foods from my life and I started with chicken salt carrots and then I added things and it's a long story in my recovery but I still make chicken soup on a very regular basis because it's so healing for you it's absolutely delicious my kids love it and the collagen in the water in the soup really reveals the gut lining and that's why we see me use collagen so much whether it's through cooking or a through collagen powder and slow cooking brings collagen out of the bones and for that reason please use organic chicken otherwise what you're bringing out of the bones is the antibiotics and the chemicals that chicken has been fed so for all my very healing foods like especially I still cooked for a long time I try and source organic free-range ingredients so I've got organic free-range chicken organic carrots organic celery and my herbs my seesaw and I use filtered water to make the soup let me show you okay guys these are organic carrots and organic celery I tell I use usually used three carrots and three stat summary stalks the carrots I do not peel the reason for the eyes and I've explained it several time on my Instagram is that you have prebiotics in the soil which feed the probiotics in your gut so just rinse them quickly and I chop them up roughly without peeling them this is such an easy recipe you just put everything in the slow cooker as you go there's no cooking beforehand just put everything give it to cook and a few hours later it's done as you can see I cut everything roughly you don't have to chop them they're not anything it's a quid it really is a quick easy recipe for everyday and because I make this all year long that's why my slow cooker is not a winter thing for me I just use it all the time I like an explorer cooked lamb shanks during the summer as well sometimes I even make it so Jean I'm gonna show you all this soon so one onion as you can see everything is organic next I'm taking a chicken and what I do because I don't want to have too much fat is remove any excess skin from the chicken because this can make you know the super little fatty so you can use either four chicken legs or one whole chicken and when you see like a little bit of fat like this I kind of remove it otherwise I'll float our soup it's not very pleasant so I repeat this process on all of them there we go so next I'm putting a bouquet garni people ask me what it is it's just a little tea bag in which you have dried thyme parsley bay leaves and marjoram so I put it in then I go in with some black pepper pepper allows us to absorb nutrients all the nutrients next I'm using sea salt I prefer sea salt to pink Himalayan salt because there's iodine in it which is good for thyroid function you need quite a bit of strength because there's gonna be a lot of all time I add thyme but it's optional it's just that I like it dried thyme and I do like to put a bay leaf as well although there are some in the back I like to put one as well and finally this is optional but I like to put a little stock pot just to add flavor this is a chicken one it's organic did you vegetable ones and you skip this step if you don't want to put it here we go and now I'm going to cover it with your abuser I've put a lot of water because I'm trying to get as much rock chicken broth as I can fill it in and I'm putting my slow cooker you can put it on low if you're doing it overnight on medium if you're watching it or if you want to do it in like four hours or so we can put it on high I'm gonna put it on high today and then what we'll do is once it's cooked who are gonna remove that she can debone it and then put the meat back in so it's been four hours cooking on high my slow cooker I'm going to remove the chicken legs from the slow cooker debone it remove the skin as well and put that she can meet back in the soup and it's ready to be eaten anytime we can carry on put putting it on low if we wanted to carry on cooking but really if it's ready and you can pair it with anything you like you can put I mean for make a separately a noodles last minute in it for me up with nothing or I put some cognac konjac pasta you know that those grain free low carb fast eyes which you find everywhere now which conformation and sometimes I just have a cup of the broth in a mug on empty stomach and it does good to my guts or before going to bed so yeah I'm just going to switch it off now look at this guy's yeah I am going to very gently remove the chicken legs one by one I'm going to remove the bouquet garni we don't need it anymore this is a health in a jar - no just with two forks I'm removing the skin like this look it just falls off you can put it straight back in as you go or afterwards doesn't matter got more pretty much done we're gonna serve it okay so what I'm now gonna start the soup it's all done ready the meat is shredded in it and I decorate with a little bit of coriander in fact I start by chopping it off okay so I'm doing shop up a little bit of Thai and ER oh sorry this is parsley you can use pasta or ground or whatever you fancy it's a very earthy soup good for you paleo keto dairy free gluten free as I said before it's so easy to make requires very little preparation makes it delicious meal and keeps for five days there you have it my slow cooker chicken soup I
