CREOLE CHICKEN SOUP

Creole Chicken Soup image

Just put this in the slow cooker in the morning and get a whiff of heaven when you come in the door in the evening! I cook it on high heat for one hour while the family gets ready for school and work, then turn it to low before we leave for the day. This is great served with corn muffins or over rice. Lots of ingredients but, except for the okra, they are all things that most cooks have on the shelf, or in the freezer or fridge. From the folks at Rodale Press's book "Your Family Will Love It." (Mine sure does!)

Tips:

Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and ensure that you're getting a variety of nutrients. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and corn.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Creole cuisine is known for its bold flavors, so don't be afraid to add a little bit of cayenne pepper, paprika, or thyme to your soup. You can also add some fresh herbs, such as parsley or cilantro, at the end of cooking for a pop of flavor.
Simmer your soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. If you're short on time, you can cook your soup in a slow cooker on low for 6-8 hours.
Serve your soup with a side of rice or bread. This will help to soak up the delicious broth and make your meal more satisfying.

Conclusion:

Creole chicken soup is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. So next time you're looking for a comforting and flavorful soup, give this Creole chicken soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
