Souper Chicken Noodle Soup(Stew)
(don’t double as too big for the crockpot – even with the original recipe it spurted over a bit)
2 onions, chopped
2 ribs celery, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 sweet potatoes, (about 1-1/4 lb/565 g total), peeled and chopped
2 slices fresh ginger
1 tsp (5 mL) salt
1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper
6 bone-in chicken thighs, (about 2 lb/900 g total)
3-1/2 cups (875 mL) Easy Chicken Stock recipe
3 cups (750 mL) water
3 cups (750 mL) sliced stemmed kale
2 cups (500 mL) curly egg noodles
1/2 cup (125 mL) frozen peas
In slow cooker, combine onions, celery, carrots, sweet potatoes, ginger, salt and pepper. Arrange chicken over vegetables. Pour in stock and water.
Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
Transfer chicken to bowl. Stir kale, noodles and peas into soup. Cover and cook on high until noodles are tender, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove and discard skin, bones and fat from chicken. Shred or chop chicken and return to soup.

I used sodium reduced chicken broth
I forgot the peas – but added broccoli earlier. It wasn’t necessary I just wanted lots of vegies.
