Slow Cooker Traditional Chicken and Veg Soup
240 calories, and 26g protein per serving
I’ve never had as many requests for a recipe as when I posted this on my stories over the weekend!
Lots of you had been asking for a super-simple, tasty and filling vegetable soup. I’ve added chicken to up the protein and it’s so juicy and just falls apart.
Perfect for a week of easy lunches! This took me just 2 minutes 37 seconds to bung everything into the slow cooker!
You could also cook this in a saucepan if you don’t have a slow cooker - I imagine about an hour would do it, just check the chicken is cooked.
