Paleo chicken sickey soup

Today I got to have the honor of playing doctor! My mom, sister, and boyfriend are all sick. After taking my sister to the doctors, I came home to cook up some soup for Chris. Since he has been coughing, mild and comforting was the best idea. 

For this recipe, all you need is a crockpot! It's super easy. And cheap, too. All the ingredients were less than a few bucks and I have left overs of all of it to make more things later! (I got a whole bag of onions for less than $2!!!). Great for days when you don't feel like cooking but want a warm delicious meal, or when you are busy with rehearsals and don't want to be cooking all night after a 3 hour orchestra rehearsal... Ahem. 

Without further ado, here is my paleo chicken sickey soup! 

Ingredients: (and I don't use exact measurements because I believe the cook should be able to use however much they want! Plus this is straightforward enough that exact measurements aren't needed.)

Some boneless skinless chicken

Two boxes of organic chicken broth (check the ingredients!!!)

A few big carrots

A few stalks of celery

One onion 

5-6 cloves of garlic

Some basil and oregano 

Salt and pepper 

Cut your carrots into little circles, throw them in. 

Chop up dat onion doe. 

Take the skins off the garlic cloves, cut each clove in half and throw those babies in the pot!

Toss that chicken in. 

Cut up that celery, and you guessed it, throw it in. 

Squirt all the chicken broth in there! (You can use less if you want a small batch but I like soup leftovers, especially if you have a sick boyfriend...)

Rip up some of those herbs, toss them in. 

Finish with salt and pepper to taste, then then turn on the crockpot high for 5 hours or so. 

Viola! Delicious soup that can cure any sore throat. Chris says it's delicious with franks red hot, too, but I didn't have the guts to try it! 

Enjoy your dairy, grain, gluten, sugar, legume, and corn free sickey soup! Let me know in the comments how it comes out! :)
