Fresh Chicken Soup
Do you ever have just 15 minutes to throw together a good dinner? In those cases, I love to use a slow cooker, specifically, my VitaClay slow cooker. Sure, you have to plan ahead a bit, but sometimes the only time I have available to make dinner is right when I get home from picking my kids up at school. I quickly chop up some ingredients, throw them in the VitaClay, and it’s ready by dinner time.
I love a good bowl of chicken soup, and I especially love to add chickpeas to it. Spring is here, and fresh herbs are coming up in my garden. This soup gets a refreshing lift from the addition of fresh herbs and lemon juice.
Serve alone, or with homemade sourdough bread.
Enjoy it, and see you next time!
