Ingredients Used to Make Chicken Broccoli Soup

It starts with 2 Chicken Breasts, Broccoli, a Mirepoix (onions, carrots, celery) base, Chicken Broth, Heavy Cream, Olive oil, and spices.

Brown the chicken first in a saute pan and add the Mirepoix to the pan. Once cooled, dice the chicken, then transfer everything to the slow cooker. Set on high for 4 hours. It is that easy. To learn more about Mirepoix read here.

Are you a Crockpot enthusiast? Most either love slow cooker meals or they don’t. Some have their crockpots on the counter or tucked away into a cabinet somewhere collecting dust.ice

Using a Crockpot or Instant Pot can make your life easier in several ways. First, you are able to get your ingredients into the pot and walk away. Even if it takes a few hours like the crockpot vs. 30 minutes with the Instant Pot, you don’t have to sit watch over the meal.

It also makes clean-up so much easier. You don’t have to use lots of dishes and pans. Generally, it’s just one pot.

I can imagine that will make your evening easier and you can spend more time with your family instead of cleaning up all night.

How to Deep Clean Your Crockpot

If you use your crockpot several times a week, it will eventually get a ring around the dish. Here is an easy way to keep it sparkling like new.

Things you need to clean your crockpot

• 1 Cup Baking Soda
• 1 Cup Vinegar
• Dish Soap
• Sponge

Fill your crockpot or slow cooker with water, just pass the ring. Add 1 cup vinegar to the water. Slowly add 1 cup of baking soda. Turn the crockpot on low and leave it on for 4 hours or overnight. Remove the lid, and let cool for at least 1 hour. Then wash with dish soap. It will be sparkling new.

Expert Tips

Use the best size for your recipe – Usually 6-7 quarts

Don’t open your crockpot while cooking, it lets out steam and moisture and adds time to the cooking

Don’t overfill your crockpot

For the best taste, brown your red meats first on the stove.

Let foods cool down before you place them in the refrigerator. (Avoid the danger zone) You can do this by placing Tupperware on a bowl of ice.

Add milk and dairy toward the end of the cooking time.
