    question

    Can this be done in the slow cooker?

    Hi, thanks for your question. We wouldn't recommend this particular recipe in the slow cooker as it needs to be bubbling in step 2. You might like to try our recipe for 'Chicken soup' which can be cooked in the slow cooker. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

    Gorgeous and filling soup. I used knot chicken stock pots with hot water for the chicken stock. Lots of flavour.

    Absolutely delicious. I used fresh sweetcorn cut from the cob and simmered in homemade chicken stock before adding shredded roasted chicken. I also added a drizzle of sesame oil over the soup in the bowl. I’ll definitely make this again
