The cooking process explained

Starting with this recipe is easy peasy! You’ll first combine the main ingredients in your slow cooker, where the magic happens. As your chicken cooks, it stays tender and juicy, while the vegetables soften beautifully. After shredding the chicken, you’ll whisk together a simple roux that transforms the broth into a creamy, luscious soup. Lastly, a quick finish in the slow cooker thickens everything up, ensuring that every spoonful is rich and satisfying.
