Chicken Soup Slow Cooker Recipe
Directions:
Boil chicken for about 10 minutes, remove from water and let cool. Save the water used to boil the chicken.
Place garlic, chili, turmeric, ginger and parsley into Thermomix and chop on 5 sec/speed 7 (or chop until fine in a food processor). Remove to a small bowl & set aside. Begin chopping vegetables and herbs.
Place cauliflower florets into Thermomix bowl (no need to clean bowl), add 200g of the chicken broth from the pot and the duck fat. Cook 20 mins/100C/speed 1.
Add egg yolks to bowl and blend 1 min/speed 9, gradually increasing speed from 1-9. (If you don’t have a Thermomix, cook cauliflower with broth and fat in a saucepan on the stovetop, then add yolks and blend with a stick blender, or cool and blend in a blender or food processor.) Set aside.
When chicken is cool remove from the bone and add to slow cooker, keep the bones for making stock later.
Add celery, leek, carrots, pumpkin, turnip and potatoes to the slow cooker and top with the broth. Set on low for about 5 hours.
Add mushrooms and broccoli. Continue on low for about 3 hours.
Add in the cauliflower mash and the reserved chopped herbs, chilli,
garlic, ginger and turmeric and stir through gently until combined.
Set slow cooker to high and add spinach, pulse flakes and salt &
pepper and stir through.
Once the spinach has wilted turn off slow cooker or set to Keep Warm
and serve soup
